Welcome to The Book Tree - a South African literacy platform aimed at promoting literacy, inspiring children to read, and helping parents and caregivers on this path.

We help you find the best reads for your child by chatting to authors and illustrators, publishers and book store owners, literacy experts and teachers.
We also unpack issues around literacy and writing skills, finding ways to inspire and grow young readers and creative thinkers.
