Water Birds on the Lake Shore: An Anthology of African Young Adult Fiction
Edited by Zukiswa Wanner
Ouida Books, 2019
The Afro Young Adult project was launched in September 2018, with the aim of producing more African literature for young adults. The call for applications resulted in 435 submissions from 28 countries.
The final stories were selected through workshops in a number of African cities, run by panels consisting of writers, literary activists and young adult readers from across the continent.
Seventeen stories, written in English, French and Swahili, have now been selected to be published in the anthology, which appears in three editions in the three languages.

This charming collection of short stories by authors with diverse backgrounds was really enjoyable for me. Each tale was distinct and distinctive.
Waterbirds on the Lakeshore is the first collection of African young adult short stories of its sort, featuring tales from all around the continent. I read stories of writers from Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Namibia, Kenya, and Malawi!
