About this book
Bold Ndebele patterns to colour and design
Gogo Paints Our House celebrates the bold, bright art of Ndebele house painting. Children colour a painted homestead, mixing paints, Gogo painting long straight lines, walls full of triangles and diamonds, beadwork, a striped blanket and a family celebration.
Each page has a short fact, a colouring task, a find-or-count question and a “Say it in isiNdebele!” word to trace. Then children design their own Ndebele wall pattern, interview Gogo on the “Ask Gogo!” page, practise every word on a tracing page and finish with a Well Done certificate.

Questions
Before you buy
Do I need to speak isiNdebele to use this book?
Not at all. Instructions and fun facts are in simple English, and every isiNdebele word has the English beside it. It’s a gentle start for families learning isiNdebele, and a fun boost for children who already speak it.
Do I need an account to buy?
No. Add the book to your cart, enter the email address where you’d like the download link sent, and pay. That’s it.
How do I get the book?
Straight after payment we email you a download link, usually within a few minutes. The link works for 7 days, so download and save the PDF. If anything goes wrong, email us and we’ll send a fresh link.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print it as often as you like for your family. Print a fresh page whenever your child wants to colour it again.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. The colouring pages are black line art and print well on any printer. The cover and the Well Done certificate look best in colour, but black and white works too.
I paid but didn’t get the email.
Check your spam or promotions folder first. Still nothing after 15 minutes? Email sandile@asifundenathi.co.za with the email address you used, and we’ll sort it out quickly.
