Big news! Our children’s book Omi, Ubi, dan Syukur! is making waves from Kupang to classrooms in Australia!
Inspired by real stories of resilience, the book reached many students at a Kupang Literacy Festival, featured on television, and is now part of the Timor Suka Membaca program.
Even more exciting? The West Australian Indonesian Language Teachers’ Association (WILTA) is using it to teach Indonesian in Australian schools!
On a recent visit to Monash Australia, former Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan also endorsed the book.
We’ve created free digital versions – one with just the Indonesian text, and one with only the images – perfect for creative classroom use.
Next up: new books for Makassar and Lombok to help kids learn about climate change and resilience in fun, meaningful ways.
