Nabu.org is a new publishing network that is democratizing access to literacy. As you read this, 40% of children are not taught in a language they speak or understand, limiting their chances of succeeding at school. Nabu.org addresses this gap by licensing and creating content with local writers and illustrators. Nabu.org publishes original local language and bilingual content for young readers to help them learn how to read. Learn more at Nabu.org.
