At Monkey Tails Books, our vision is to keep Zimbabwe’s rich cultural heritage alive through the power of storytelling. In a world that is rapidly changing, we believe in the importance of teaching children about the traditions, languages, and values of their homeland. By weaving these elements into entertaining and educational stories, we aim to ensure that future generations, especially those in the diaspora, remain connected to their roots. Through our books, we celebrate the spirit of Zimbabwe and share it with the world, empowering children to carry the legacy of their culture with pride.
Encouraging children to use their imagination and creativity through engaging, adventure-filled stories that spark curiosity.
Promoting shared reading experiences that bring families together, reinforcing the importance of family and cultural traditions.
Creating stories that reflect diverse experiences, ensuring that every child can see themselves in the narratives, regardless of background or location.
We envision a world where storytelling fosters not only knowledge but also unity and compassion among children from diverse backgrounds. In the spirit of Ubuntu—the African philosophy of togetherness—we believe that stories can bring children closer, helping them learn about each other’s cultures and develop empathy. Our goal is to make learning accessible to all children, no matter their circumstances, by giving back to communities in need. Every book purchased allows us to donate a book to rural and urban orphanages, creating a ripple effect of goodwill and education.
