There is nothing quite like the magic of seeing young minds fall in love with reading!

From Wangari Grace’s incredible storytelling session to Virginia Clay sharing the journey behind Warrior Boy, the students were utterly captivated—and even begging for more books!
Fostering an early reading culture is at the core of what we do. When we spark curiosity and imagination in children, we open doors to endless possibilities.
Huge thanks to the amazing educators, authors, and students at West Nairobi School for letting us be a part of your reading journey.
