Frequently Asked Questions
Booksie makes it super easy for you to find African children’s books through our Book Subscription Service and Online Bookshop.
We also have an Accra based book club that hosts authors for story time and teaches children how to read.
Every month, Booksie selects 2 books of the month for the three age groups we work with: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12.
We deliver these books to our subscribers all over the world.
The Booksie team researches and selects the best high quality, culturally relevant books that keep children engrossed while entertaining and teaching them. Our selections leave children craving for more books.
With the subscription service, you won’t know the books you will receive in advance because it comes with an element of surprise.
We suggest selecting something from the online bookshop if you want to choose the books yourself
Booksie has been designed for families who love to read and buy books often. It is convenient because you get to pre-schedule how often you want the books and are assured that the books are high quality, entertaining and educational.
Booksie also saves you the time of looking for culturally relevant books, especially if that is at the top of your priorities for choosing books for your children.
