Telling Africa, inspiring the future
Éditions Mapoukam was born from a passion for Africa’s cultural richness and one simple conviction: the lack of positive, authentic depictions of Africa in children’s books is not inevitable.
We write tales drawn from the oral tradition, carefully adapted for today’s young readers, and illustrated to be looked at as much as read.
Join our literary adventure and discover an Africa that sings, dances and inspires, page after page.
What guides us
Four principles, kept
Heroes who look like them
Endearing characters, magical adventures, and children who recognise themselves in the pages.
Cultures named, not blurred
Every tale says where it comes from. Five traditions, precise origins, never « Africa » in general.
Universal values
Courage, friendship, cunning and perseverance — what these stories have always passed on.
Readable anywhere
