Discover the Magic of Shona and Ndebele

Simai Creations began with a mother’s dream to teach her children Shona — a language rich in rhythm, warmth, and heritage. “When I struggled to find simple, age-appropriate books that taught spoken Shona, I decided to create them myself.” - Mai Yanai

At Simai Creations, we design beautifully illustrated Shona and Ndebele children’s books that make learning fun and magical. Each story introduces little ones to everyday Shona and Ndebele words and phrases, helping them build vocabulary while sparking a love for reading and language.

Our mission is to nurture a new generation of Shona and Ndebele -speaking children through joyful storytelling. As we grow, we look forward to expanding our collection with more books and learning resources that celebrate language, culture, and imagination.

Join us on this journey to plant the seeds of the Shona and Ndebele language and storytelling in young hearts.
