African Storybook

The African Storybook (ASb) is a literacy initiative that provides openly licensed picture storybooks for early reading in the languages of Africa. Developed and hosted by Saide, the ASb has an interactive website that enables users to read, create, download, translate, and adapt stories. The initiative addresses the dire shortage of children’s storybooks in African languages, crucial for children’s literacy development. As of April 2016 there are more than 500 unique stories in 70 languages spoken in Africa, including English, French, and Portuguese, for a total of over 2500 stories.
