Book Dash is an innovative, nonprofit, South African publisher of open access, African picture books for very young children. Books are created in a day by volunteers in “Book Dash events” where ten teams of writers, illustrators, editors, designers, and tech support work together to create new books in twelve hours! The finished books are then posted on the Book Dash website, where they can be downloaded or read by website users. Books are arranged alphabetically on the Book Dash website with their book covers to facilitate browsing. Book Dash also offers their Book Dash Manual and book templates on their website to help other organizations create their own “book making event.” [al]
