Description
The talented Polycarp, who you may know as a composer, guitarist, producer and member of one of Africa's biggest bands, is this week’s guest reader with this sweet bedtime story little ones are bound to enjoy. This ode to fatherhood and curiosity is one of our favourite books. Just like the star of the story, Ototo, children are full of wonder, dreams and vivid imagination. We hope this story sparks conversations about your children’s dreams and ambitions. What makes them giggle? Would they want to go to space? What do they see when they close their eyes? What’s the best part of their day? What adventures did they get up to? The possibilities are endless!
