Children's Somali Books

Recommended Posts

Coofle   

Ah...Children's books...Storytelling...

Stories are painted and glued to the memory of a child only when they are melodiously told by a fully-fledged raconteur, more likely a grandmother or a grandfather.

I remember how I enjoyed bedtime stories , I think the tale of Dhag-dheer was told to us more than 100 times and everytime it gave me the thrill and fear but I still recall how happy I got when I hear the song

"Dhag-dheer dhimatoo , dhulkii nabadeeey"

 

I have spotted a new blog dedicated for somali old stories...Enjoy the good read

You can also try dual language books, popular western / english books with a Somali translation, really good way of learning Somali for a qurbaawi child.
