Saturday 14 October 2023 saw us hosting our 22nd Book Dash event with breathtaking views from Workshop 17 at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
On this Book Dash day, 12 teams of creative volunteers worked fast to make beautiful African children’s books that anyone can freely access, print and distribute. All our books are made in 12-hour sprints by creative professionals who volunteer their time and talent because they believe in our vision. Each team consists of a writer, an illustrator, a designer and an editor. The 12 books created at this event brings us to a total of 200 published books ready for anyone to access, read, download, adapt, print and distribute.
Thank you to our generous sponsors V&A Waterfront and Liberty Community Trust for making this day possible.
