I Am A Citizen · Book One
Nta’s Library
Nta has one book. Everyone wants to read it. In Nkulumane, Bulawayo, a girl with a big wish learns that one seed doesn’t make a field, and that a library can start with one book and many hands.
I’ve set a price, but you’re welcome to pay more. Every extra dollar goes further.
Inside the book
A story you can read, and then live
What you get
- The illustrated story, in a phone edition and a wide edition for tablets, computers and reading aloud
- “Your turn” activity pages to print on A4: four reflection questions and a Seed Plan
- A short glossary of words from Nta’s world
- Instant download after you buy. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, and print the activity pages
Who it’s for
Primary school children, and the families, teachers, librarians and youth groups who read with them. It’s set in Nkulumane, Bulawayo, and written for children everywhere.
The Library Promise
Every copy plants a seed
50% of net proceeds from every book in the I Am A Citizen series goes to programmes that pay school fees and bring books and libraries to girls and boys in rural communities in Zimbabwe.
