HaHu Books’ main project to date has been Bukaya, a magazine in Amharic for children and families. Bukaya, which means seedling in English, contains educational games, pictorial stories, matching words to words, matching pictures to words, tales and fables, tradition and culture, nursery rhymes, jokes and puzzles, the complete Amharic alphabet and numbers. Bukaya provides Ethiopian children and families with material which is entertaining and at the same time educational. The material aims to be useful for all ages including non-Ethiopians who are keen to develop their knowledge of Amharic. Bukaya is designed in a way that inspires community teachers, parents, language schools and guardians as to how to teach Amharic language to children.

Two volumes, comprising 16 separate magazines, have been published from London over the last four years. Bukaya is available by subscription from Hahu Books, as well as some Ethiopian shops in London and outlets in France and the USA. Past issues are available by mail for a reduced rate.

If you wish to get our advice on education, the preparation of own language materials, translation of books and other materials, please write to us or send us an email. Likewise the editors would also be very happy to hear your views, comments and criticisms. We would be very grateful if you can send to Bukaya contributions of stories, nursery rhymes, jokes etc.. Don’t let language deter you from making contributions. Send us your writings in any of the Ethiopian languages as well as in English. We will try to get them translated for you.
