Thursday 8th of September, is International Literacy Day. To celebrate this day, we are making the latest title in the Sibo Series available as a free read. Just click on the cover of the book.
The sad fact in South Africa is that over 70% of children in Grade 4 cannot read for meaning. This means…they can read the words but don’t necessarily understand what they read.
We celebrated International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February) through to International Women’s Day (8 March), by having Sibo in Space as a free read!
For more information about Women and Girls in astronomy, click here.
1st December – World AIDS Day. In honour of this, we put Sibo Thinks Positively up as a free read for two weeks.
Sibo Goes Bananas is the 16th title in the Sibo Series.
Commissioned by Tiaan De Jager (PhD) from the University of Pretoria Faculty of Health Sciences.
Funded by a team grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, The Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health – awarded to Principal Applicant Sarah Kimmins (PhD), McGill University, Montreal Canada.

ARE YOU BEING BULLIED?
Need help?
According to a survey, PIRLS 2016 (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study – pg 226 in the report) South Africa has the highest incidence of bullying among all 50 countries that participated in the study.
42% of Grade 4 students indicated that they were bullied weekly compared to 15% in the US and England.
We are looking for a sponsor(s) for “Sibo Beats the Bully” – a title on how to deal with bullies. Click here for more info.
How cool is this? Sibo has won another award…
Sibo and the Veggie Bed won a 2020 AfriCAN Authors Award for Agricultural Empowerment. The ceremony was held on Friday, 31st July, in a drive-through event.
This is the second title in the Sibo Series and is all about how to make, plant and look after a vegetable bed the size of a door. In honour of this award, we are making this the free read for August. Thanks very much.
You can get it directly from Lets Look Publishers, and is also available as an eBook on Amazon.

‘Sibo Mixes Things Up’ was originally sponsored by BASF in 2011 for International Year of Chemistry (IYC). Mrs Rudi Horak – yes, that’s actually the correct spelling of her name (not the one in the book), was in charge of Sci-Enza (the science centre at the University of Pretoria) at that stage and she was instrumental in getting funding. This meant the book could be given out to kids freely during that year. Sci-Enza also developed a really awesome puppet show to go with this book that delighted and e
