MEAKARA MEAKARA

Meakara Meakara is a playful, interactive picture book for toddlers and preschoolers. Its cheerful main character, Meakara, leads young readers through simple actions like raising a hand, touching toes, jumping, hopping and turning around. It finishes with a game of peekaboo. The same story appears in both English and Khmer, which makes it a good fit for bilingual families and early-years classrooms. It also gives children a way to practice movement, listening and early vocabulary. It was created by TukTuk Charity, a nonprofit focused on early childhood education in Cambodia, with support from Rotary International.
