Heritage books for the children we're raising far from home.

A curated library of bilingual children's books in Shona, Ndebele, Yoruba, Igbo, Swahili, Zulu, Chichewa and more — so our kids grow up in both languages and both cultures.

If you've ever gone looking for a children's book in your mother tongue and come up short, you're in the right place. I'm a Zimbabwean mum in the UK, an accountant by day, and a parent who got tired of how hard these books are to find. So I built the library I wished I had. Browse by language below, and tell me what's missing.
