Meaning of name
According to Bhabhu:
The word bhabhu comes from Shona meaning ‘baby talk’. It is a word that babies use when they want to be carried or strapped to their mother’s back. When babies are carried on their mother’s back, they feel warm, happy and assured. Bhabhu Books is there to help nurture our children and make them understand the world through books and stories mainly in their first and mother language.[1]
