Hi, there!

From Berlin, our community continues to grow, now reaching families and communities across Germany and beyond.
With every book we share and every story we tell, we stay committed to our promise: fostering inclusion, empathy, and a sense of belonging for all children.

In 2023, we brought together a community of passionate creatives- authors, illustrators, and educators- to develop inclusive and diverse stories for children.

Our Story

The Start of the Idea

The idea behind ZULA Tribe was born in December 2022, inspired by a very personal journey. The lack of representation an intersectional approach in his child´s life experiences led to frustration for a father who couldn´t find suitable books for his daughter.

First project

Our first project became a reality in 2024. Since then, the Tribe has grown, connecting families, creatives, and communities through books that celebrate identity, empathy and belonging.
