The Puku Children’s Literature Catalogue is an important initiative that highlights quality African books for young readers, with the goal of creating a catalogue in every indigenous language.
New Africa Books is proud to be part of this growing effort to support literacy and cultural representation. So far, catalogues are available in isiXhosa (Uvimba Wethu), Setswana (Sefalana sa Rona), Sesotho (Sesiu sa Rona), and most recently, isiZulu (Umgodla Wethu), launched in March 2025.
Each features 100+ recommended books for ECD and Foundation Phase learners, professionally curated by South Africa’s top reviewers. These resources are a powerful step toward inclusive and multilingual education.
