Delightful Tales

Our story is simple. We aim to write children’s books that facilitate healthy conversations around uncomfortable topics in South Africa.

Small disclaimer: We don’t have all the answers to some of the difficult questions that our stories ask but we do know that the first step to answering them, is encouraging kids (and parents) to talk about these ‘difficult topics’ honestly and openly, in a supportive environment

[Delightful Tales @TalesDelightful]

Hellooo 🌈 A year later, we think a quick re-intro is in order☝️‘Delightful Tales About Difficult Topics’ is a series of 🇿🇦 stories that aim to facilitate healthy conversations about topics not typically covered within the children’s book genre.

[Delightful Tales @TalesDelightful]

The reason we do what we do 💛 Our wish is for every child to see themselves represented in literature 📖
