Thanks Ken,

It is the first in a series where the kids take the lead in narrating stories about activities with loved ones. There is space on each printed book page version for the kids to personalize the book by drawing their own illustrations or paste pictures of activities with loved ones.

Other books include Mummy and I, Grandpa and I, Grandma and I, Friends and I, forthcoming. May lead to a TV series down the line but the aim now is to get kids away from the screen and have them do stuff with loved ones.

Inspired by moonlight stories in Africa, the call and response form encourages participation by all.

I hope your grandchildren will love it.

Biko

Biko.

Isnt this contradictory?

Why aim at a television series down the line if the initial objective was to wean kids off television?

Freudian slip?
