It's Storytime! READ: Everyone's Special! (Available for download in six official languages)

Mandla was out for a walk one day when he noticed how special all the animals are - from Elephant all the way to Waterbuck! 

This leaves Mandla with a lot of questions, but Mama is sure to remind him what makes him special too!

This story about individuality is brought to you by Nal'ibali (isiXhosa for "here's the story"), a national reading-for-enjoyment campaign to spark children's potential through storytelling and reading.
