Simo Emi, stories carrying their colors
A Douala-based children’s publisher creating books rooted in African cultures for young readers in Africa and the diaspora.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the publisher’s work into four formats: progressive observation-and-logic activities, a bilingual market adventure, standalone comics about young investigators, and two coloring volumes on African women in history. Simo Emi says each collection begins with research into textiles, folktales, local languages, or historical figures. The books are described as designed in Douala, with international distribution attributed to Emi Media, but the page does not show prices, ordering tools, or publication dates.
