Book excerpt: My first Swahili ABC picture book is specially designed to captivate young readers. With bright, bold, and colourful photographs, this wonderful book creates a foundation for learning.With its simple point-and-say layout this Swahili alphabet book builds confidence through repetition and encourages preschool bilingual vocabulary and language skills, especially for children from the diaspora community (or anyone who wants to learn Swahili). The book provides endless fun for the toddlers, all while giving the child a head start on learning their letters, creating words, and gaining exposure to the Swahili language.
