World Read Aloud Day | 4 February

At ResRequest, we don’t really do things halfway.

Yes, we love all things red (hello, ResRover).
Yes, February comes wrapped in a few big-hearted Valentine vibes.
But we also have a soft spot for wildlife, wide-open spaces, great stories – and giving back in small, meaningful ways.

So this February, we’re bringing it all together with a little safari-inspired magic of our own.

To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, we’ve chosen a beautifully illustrated children’s book that feels perfectly at home in our world of lodges, wildlife, and big skies. A story that celebrates nature, curiosity, and the quiet heroes found in the wild.

Even better?
We’ve invited the author and illustrator themselves to join us.

So settle in, dear reader – an adventure awaits.

Join author Marleen Lammers and illustrator Anja Stoeckigt as they read Superheroes of the Savannah – a heart-warming tale of courage, kindness, and the everyday heroes roaming the plains.

Expect brave little legends.
Vast landscapes.
And a few animals you might just recognise.

You can explore more of Marleen Lammers’ wonderful stories on Takealot or via her website, including:

Each one is packed with imagination, heart, and stories worth sharing aloud.
