When children grow up in multilingual or international environments, learning to read in a second language becomes an important part of their education. But reading in another language isn’t easy.

Children’s literature in Africa is going through an exciting transformation. Across the continent, more and more people are recognizing the powerful role that books play in the early years of a child’s life.

Education is seen as a process of simply filling a child’s mind with facts and figures. But true learning — transformational learning — opens the mind. It encourages children to ask questions, consider different perspectives, and stay curious. It invites them to challenge assumptions and embrace new ideas.
