Puku’s book reviews provide informed perspectives on children’s books in South Africa’s languages.
Reviews are published in the reviewer’s language. That means a review of an isiZulu book is written in isiZulu, not summarised in English. If you’re choosing books for children who read in indigenous languages, that matters a lot.
Puku reviews children’s books through a structured process developed over years of conducting multilingual review workshops. Reviewers are qualified practitioners – teachers, librarians, academics, and literary activists – who have completed Puku-designed review training.
Puku is trying to build a book review culture in African languages. By joining our team of reviewers, you are helping with this mission, and adding much needed skills in the children’s literacy ecosystem.
