$18.65
by Mari Serebrov (Author), Romeo Sinkala (Illustrator), Jonathan Katjimune (Translator)
A beautifully illustrated African creation story told in English and Otjiherero.
Jahohora and First Day retells the traditional Herero creation story through the eyes of Jahohora, the young girl first introduced in Mari Serebrov's historical novel Mama Namibia.
In this tale within a tale, children are invited into the world of Herero family, culture, language, and memory. Through vivid desert landscapes and images of creation emerging from the sacred omumborombonga tree, Namibian artist Romeo Sinkala brings this treasured story to life.
The first book in The Jahohora Series, Jahohora and First Day celebrates traditional Herero culture while helping preserve a story shaped by generations of oral tradition.
Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, homeschoolers, and readers interested in African folklore, creation stories, Namibia, Herero culture, bilingual children's books, and culturally rooted picture books.
Author's Note
Following the publication of Mama Namibia, Paramount Chief Kuaima Riruako encouraged Mari Serebrov to write a series of children's books based on Jahohora's childhood. His hope was to help keep the memory of traditional Herero culture alive for future generations.
