In many classrooms, learning begins with unfamiliar words.
But when a child opens a book written in their own language, something changes.
They understand.
They connect.
They feel seen.
Through the African Storybook initiative, children in Topsy-supported ECD centres now have access to books that reflect their language, culture, and identity.
Across 30 centres, these stories are helping children build confidence and develop a love for reading from an early age.
It is not just about literacy.
It is about belonging.
