Last month, we launched a Kickstarter to help us fund production and distribution of our upcoming graphic novel King Shaka: Zulu Legend, and we so happy to announce that it was funded! As part of our supporter rewards, we included a buy-one-give-one option that allowed supporters to not only get their very own copy of King Shaka, but to give one to a school or library in South Africa. And through your generosity, the copies you see here will be distributed through our partnership with READ Educational Trust, a South African literacy organization that’s making sure children all over the country have access to books. This is just the start of our work making sure that kids who need books can get them. Your support will also help us roll out a buy-one-give-one option here at our website—so stay tuned!
Written and illustrated by Luke Molver, King Shaka: Zulu Legend is the finale of the story started in Shaka Rising. Your support will also help us keep telling stories like King Shaka with our African Graphic Novel Series and our Story Press Africa imprint. We appreciate all of your support and kind words for King Shaka, Shaka Rising, and everything we’re trying to do here at Catalyst Press/Story Press Africa. Many, many thanks to our generous supporters (this list will be updated as we continue to receive supporter surveys):

You should all be receiving your books in the coming days, and for those of you who chose the buy-one-give-one option, those books are on their way to South Africa as we speak!
