How to Tame a Monster

When Lwando’s little sister gets mad, she turns into a monster. Can Lwando help her tame her big feelings?

How to Tame a Monster is an open-license children's book written by me, illustrated by Anja Venter, designed by Wilna Combrinck, and edited by Carla Lever.

Book Dash is a South African social impact publisher of free books for very young children. Their vision is that “Every child should own a hundred books by the age of five”, before they enter school.

To that end, Book Dash gathers creative professionals who volunteer to create new, African storybooks that anyone can freely translate and distribute. They employ their unique, 12-hour book-making methodology to create beautiful new books in just one day! Then, they share with the world, on their website and in physical format for children to own.
