About Ujamaa
Stories That Shape Lives
Ujamaa Publishing publishes books that help people grow, love well and pass something good to the next generation: honest nonfiction for adults, and illustrated stories for children.
The name
Ujamaa is a Swahili word for familyhood: the idea that we belong to one another and are responsible for one another. It is the reason a family sits at the center of our emblem, and the standard every book we publish is held to.
