A respectful immersion into the memory of Gaborone, adapted for children to understand the importance of roots.
Poetic descriptions and captivating illustrations to travel from home or the classroom.
Deep conversations with the figures of the village, passing on universal values.
In Gaborone, Kgosi, a visually impaired boy, visits the National Museum every week. His eyes cannot clearly distinguish the exhibits, but touch, imagination and careful listening open another path into Botswana’s history. Stories from his parents and Mrs Naledi bring the objects to life. As he discovers these treasures, Kgosi understands that no price can buy what brings him the greatest joy. Bonds, shared stories and received wisdom form a kind of wealth that money can neither create nor replace.
Packs bring several stories together to explore a value over time.
Turn children’s attention towards non-material wealth: family, health, friendship, loyalty and generosity of heart.
“A story can become a root.”
