Together with the team at Nal'ibali, we want children in central SA to read more. Sharing stories with children helps to develop the language and learning skills they need to do better in school, not just in reading and writing, but across all subjects. 

Upon checking her cupboards, Mama realises that they are running low on groceries. She starts compiling a list of groceries and prepares to head to the market to shop. However, Granny offers to go on her behalf and asks Lucy to help. With the list in hand, they excitedly hop onto a taxi and head to the market. Granny is astonished to learn that she lost the shopping list along the way but Lucy has her clever plan. Will she remember all the items on the list and save the day?
