Illustrated books teaching science and mathematical concepts encountered in daily life in Timor-Leste aimed at 5th and 6th grade students. The books will be printed in both Tetun and Portuguese and cover areas such as health, agriculture, weather and climate, food and nutrition and day-to-day mathematics. The intention is to cover regularly asked questions and to help improve the standard of living in rural areas.

Distribution will reach 12,000 students across East Timor through schools, public libraries and reading rooms.
