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. 

Theo spent a lot of his time in the library. He loved reading books and believed that he could find anything he wanted in them. Naturally, when it was time to decide what he wanted to do when he got older, he thought the books would make a great source of ideas. However, the books were not so helpful this time. One evening during one of his reading clubs with fellow cats, an intruding burglar unintentionally leads Theo to a perfect decision about what he wants to become.  Find out how this happens here: https://iono.fm/e/928242
