Overview

Tetiwe - My Words In Action is a joyful multilingual picture book designed to help young children discover everyday words while celebrating the richness of African languages and culture. Created for ages 3.5 and up, this vibrant series introduces essential vocabulary in English, Shona, Ndebele, Swahili, Xhosa, Portuguese, and Zulu, offering families and educators a simple, engaging way to build early language skills. Each page features bold, child-friendly illustrations paired with clear vocabulary, making it easy for children to connect words with meaning through visual learning. Whether used at home, in early childhood centers, or during family reading time, the book encourages curiosity, cultural pride, and joyful exploration of language. A special inclusion in this series is Portuguese, reflecting its importance as the primary language in Mozambique and Angola, where millions of African children grow up bilingual or multilingual. By pairing Portuguese with English and other African languages, the book supports children in Portuguese-speaking regions who are learning English as a second language, while also honoring the linguistic diversity of Southern and Eastern Africa. This makes the book especially valuable for cross-border families, regional schools, and educators seeking culturally relevant early-learning materials. Rooted in African identity and designed with inclusivity in mind, Tetiwe - My Words In Action supports early literacy, multilingual exposure, and cross-cultural understanding. It is ideal for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to introduce children to diverse languages in a fun, accessible, and visually appealing format. This book invites children to see themselves, their families, and their world reflected on the page - and to discover the power of words in action.
