In this edition, we talk about the importance of Mother Tongue Day and how crucial it is to preserve and protect all languages for children’s literacy development! We also speak to author Zanele Ndlovu on how to share stories with your children, and feature the cut-out-and-keep story, ‘UMakhweyane UHadi’ by Zanele Ndlovu and Charlotte Hill O’Neal (Izilimi Zase-Afrika). In our Story Corner, we feature Part 2 of ‘Phindulo and the pumpkin’ by Kai Tuomi.
