About this book

Ico Akalulu Kaakwatila Akamucila Akepi by Sydney Muponda, PhD is a local-language children's story drawn from the animal-story tradition that is common in African oral literature. Rabbit stories are especially familiar in folktales, where a small animal's actions often become a way of exploring cleverness, choices, consequences and explanation. By publishing the story in a Zambian language, the book helps carry that storytelling tradition from oral performance into print for a new generation of readers. It is suitable for primary-age children, families, schools and libraries seeking local-language materials. Teachers can use it for reading practice, retelling and vocabulary, while adults can invite children to discuss what they think the story explains or teaches. The book strengthens both children's literacy and the visibility of indigenous-language storytelling within contemporary publishing.
