Every child should own a hundred books by the age of five. To that end, Book Dash gathers creative volunteers to create new African storybooks that anyone can freely print, translate and distribute. Then we work with partners to give those books to preschool children to own.
To find out more, and to download beautiful, open-licensed, print-ready books, visit bookdash.org.

Ke nna wa magareng.
E sego wa mathomo.
E sego wa mafelelo.
Yo a lego magareng!

Yo a lego magareng a ka lebalega gabonolo.

Le go tlogelwa gabonolo.

Efela go lokile ka gobane gape ke nna yo a nago le DIKAKANYO!

Lebelela se nka se  dirago ka khatepokisi  ye fela!
Ntlo ye BOTSE …  ya mabati le  mafesetere a nnete.

Ntlo ya ka e na le mpete  wo o kgethegilego kudu, le  SEŠIRO SA MALEATLANA.

Ka matšatši a mangwe ntlo ya ka ke lebenkele.

Gomme ka matšatši a mangwe ke pontšho  ye BOTSEBOTSE.

Ka dinako tše dingwe ntlo ya ka e noba ya ka ke le noši!

Eupša ka dinako tše dingwe ke ntlo  ya batho ba bararo!
Ke nna wa magareng.
E sego wa mathomo.
E sego wa mafelelo.
Yo a lego magareng!

Gomme a ke maemo a ka a makaonekaone.
