It's Storytime! READ: You're too small (Available for download in 8 official languages)

Mama Tau is coming home and Thapelo, the youngest of all her children, is the most excited! 

Everyone would like to pitch in and make Mama Tau's day special, but Thapelo is told he is too small to help. 

Soon, Thapelo shows the whole family that he is not too small - in fact, he is just the right size! 

This story about family, individuality and growing up is brought to you by Nal'ibali (isiXhosa for "here's the story"), a national reading-for-enjoyment campaign to spark children's potential through storytelling and reading.
