This is part two of a two-part conversation I had with Rehema Kibugi & Mwalimu Mbatia on their passion for teaching & learning Kikuyu and how that has sparked Rehema's interest in writing.

Rehema Kibugi is only 13 years old and already, she has the title -Child Author to her name. Her book 'The Children who Saved the Mangrove published in April this year is a 56-page story about a boy called Kamau who learns about mangroves and how they help the environment. Then one day, he comes across people cutting them. 

In this episode, Rehema reads the email response that Prof. Ngugi was Thiong'o wrote to her then speaks about her love for language and stories as she shares what it feels like being an author and what inspired her to write the book.

Her book is available on Amazon
