Tuvalu children’s books

This year Chad Sta-Krucial Robertson and I have been working on an awesome project with the Tuvalu Auckland Community Trust. We made 8 bilingual Tuvaluan children’s books, one representing each island of Tuvalu, and today the books were launched as part of Tuvalu Language Week celebrations. Each book comes with an audio version as well so the children can listen to the stories as well as reading them.
“The books are beautiful. I just read seven of them with my five year old and she enjoyed them!” (Marama T-Pole. Tagata Pasifika presenter and proud Tuvaluan).
Check the books out at the Trust’s awesome website tuvalucommunity.org 🇹🇻🤲
