About Pamiti
Pamiti makes stories about the sports and places your family loves, for children to listen to and, later, to read themselves.
Why Pamiti?
Pamiti began with a parent who wanted to read aloud from a book he enjoyed himself: a story about a world he loves. For most sports, that book did not exist yet.
So each story starts where the family's passion is, for example on the beach with a kite. The child gets an adventure, and the parent recognises their own world.
The name
Pamiti is said pa-MEE-tee, the same in every language. “Miti” means “trees” in Swahili.
Our tree is a baobab, with a little red door in its trunk: the story tree you can step into. People have been telling stories under the baobab for centuries.
The same friends, new worlds
Mila, Timo, Nora and Finn have every adventure together, with Bo the dog, Miso the cat and Pip the guinea pig. In each story one of them takes the lead.
Every story has one lesson, such as saying that you're scared or listening before you start. The children find the way themselves; no grown-up gives a lecture.
What is in every book
Twelve big pictures with the story, a page of facts about the sport or the place, and three questions to talk about together. What the friends do in the story is safe and true to the sport.
Every story is written for one age group and is available in English and in Dutch.
