Sindiwe Magona, Book Dash Writer

“I decided to give this story to the world for free. I have received so much from everybody. This is my little payback.”

Philippa Kabali-Kagwa, Book Dash Writer

“I was compelled to create more books where African children can see themselves. It was a wonderful process – intense, well-supported and lots of fun. The team, and participants were all very professional, and supportive of each other.”

Sam Wilson, Book Dash Writer

“Literacy is a huge issue in South Africa. Book Dash creates books that are free online, and can be printed and sold by anyone. It’s an amazing way to give every child in South Africa their own books. And I get to do something I love for a great cause.”

Nabeela Kalla, Book Dash Editor

“The Book Dash event is an unique environment, charged with the collective energy of different individuals coming together to create the best possible books for children, and to change the reading landscape in South Africa and beyond. “

Sarah McGregor, Book Dash Writer

“Thank you all for the incredible (ad)venture that is Book Dash. It’s wonderful to know that participating leads to more African story books & more books in the hands of kids who need them.”

Ndumiso Nyoni, Book Dash Illustrator

“Knowing that there is an African child out there who is both learning to read and appreciate themselves for who they are, is the biggest achievement of my career and I am humbled and honoured to be a part of it. ”
