African Stories Children love, Trusted by parents
Thoughtfully written children’s books inspired by African folklore, created to make reading at home joyful and meaningful.
Reimagining African Folklore
Tales by Nyana is a children’s storytelling initiative rooted in the belief that stories shape how children see themselves and the world around them.
Through thoughtfully written books inspired by African traditional stories, we support parents and caregivers to build joyful reading habits at home, one story at a time.
Every shared story helps children grow in confidence and imagination.
Championing Literacy in Africa Through Storytelling
Tales by Nyana began with a simple belief: that championing literacy and a love for reading at home can shape a child’s confidence, curiosity, and sense of belonging. We are changing the narrative around literacy in Africa by showing how shared reading between parents and children builds strong foundations for lifelong learning.
What started as a love for stories has grown into a storytelling initiative rooted in African folklore and wisdom, reaching homes, classrooms, and communities through joyful, meaningful reading experiences.
