Happy International Day of Education.

Celebrating education throughout the world as it is a human right and a shared responsibility.

On this day, we imagine a day when every child will have access to books and the opportunity to read because a child who reads does not need a classroom to learn and grow.

We done a pop-up store at Manda Hill in Lusaka, Zambia 😊 selling all our books.

It was a dream come true. Thank you Lusaka family and friends for your support.

The books were well received, watch this space for more details about where you can get copies in Lusaka.

A few ideas to help us all get through the loooooooong summer vacation. 😒

ShutterstockAs the holidays progress, parents will no doubt be hearing a classic line from their kids: “I’m boooooored”. We all get bored from time to time and there is nothing particularly wrong with feeling bored. In fact, it is a useful emotion because it is helps us reflect and make change...

2024 is a good year to do something new.

Wow, last Sunday was amazing! I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I reflect on the incredible success of my recent book launch for my three latest books.

To my husband (who honestly deserves to speak at the 2024 Men's Conference 😚☺️) my parents in Zambia, family and extended family, my friends, my church family at FCI (big shout-out to Ps Aj and his beautiful wife Rita), Ps Sam and aunty Enid and the LWWC family, and the Zambian and Ghanian community members, your presence at the event spoke volumes about the love and support we share for each other. I am blessed to know you all.

I am grateful for all the wonderful feedback, ideas, and stories of how children in your homes are enjoying the books and the meaningful conversations between children and parents about culture and speaking our native languages in our home.

Thanks be to God, the source of all my inspiration and blessings. Without God, none of this would have been possible.

As I embark on this new chapter, I carry your support with me. The journey has just started, and we will meet again to celebrate.

Official pictures will be posted when received.

A special thank you to my friend Chisenga Sota of Sota&Co for lending us the decoration and my sister-in-law Jacklyn N Chabakale for putting it all together. Much Love!
