Description

In Ethiopia, families divide the work required to maintain the household. Drying out dung for cooking fires or insulation, preparing meals, tending livestock and caring for other family members are all important tasks. Every member of the family can help, and supportive families learn how to balance their skills and abilities to ensure that everything gets done. An inclusive family also ensures that each member feels valued and respected, with responsibilities and duties that match their skills, regardless of their differences. Take a peek into the daily life of an inclusive Ethiopian family with diverse skills in our colorful bilingual early reader. Bright illustrations bring the daily life of a visually impaired Ethiopian girl into focus as she goes about her day, and how she supports (and is supported by) the loved ones around her. Ready Set Go Books, an Open Hearts Big Dreams Project, is focused on increasing the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details. Profits from book sales are used to create, print, and distribute more Ready Set Go Books to kids in Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country. Ethiopia's population is 44% children, ages 0-14 (43 million out of 97 million total). Only 5.5% of children attend pre-school or kindergarten, and the adult literacy rate is 49%. Our books are based on wise Ethiopian sayings that often rhyme in Amharic. If an adult says the first half, many children can chant the second half. Sometimes the meaning of these sayings is clear. Sometimes it has to be puzzled out and argued over. But sayings and idioms and proverbs help people express truths and beliefs in unusual ways. Since late 2017, OHBD has published over 100 unique #ReadySetGo dual language titles in four Ethiopian languages plus English and has plans to publish another 100 titles and add more languages in the coming years. New titles and/or languages are added monthly; follow our author page to get new release announcements. Open Hearts Big Dreams Fund (OHBD) is a 501(3)(c) not for profit organization that believes the chance to dream big dreams should not depend on where in the world you are born. Our mission is to inspire and enable youth in Ethiopia through READY SET GO books, STEM and Innovation Projects in collaboration with individuals and organizations providing literacy, education, and leadership opportunities.
