Loves Books

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.

Julia

Julia
loves
books.

She loves books with words,

and books with pictures.

Julia loves books about swimming,

and books about tennis.

She loves books about travelling,

and books about staying home.

But there is one book missing.

Where is the book about Julia?

She will have to write it herself.

Here is a pen, Julia.
