Hand illustrated, mindfully designed

At Malo Pepe, we believe in the power of thoughtful design to enhance learning experiences. Our approach to creating playful and gentle illustrations stems from a deep understanding of proven learning techniques, ensuring that every element serves a purpose without overstimulating the senses.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of traditional Samoan artwork, we’ve seamlessly woven elements of our cultural heritage into the background, adding depth and authenticity to our designs. However, our primary focus remains on the learning components of our products, ensuring that they take centre stage in the educational journey.

Through a careful selection of colours and imagery, we strike a balance that fosters engagement and comprehension without overwhelming the senses. Each illustration is meticulously crafted by our very talented illustrator, Emily Hill, to evoke curiosity and spark imagination.

At Malo Pepe, we’re committed to blending the beauty of our cultural heritage with modern design principles to create educational resources that inspire, educate, and empower learners of all ages.

    The Malo Pepe books are great resources for children to learn at home. The books are nice and colourful with great pictures to suit each page. They're great quality books with thick and sturdy pages for all those kids in the "put everything in your mouth " phase. Thank you Malo Pepe for such a wonderfully created book. A nice addition to our book collection

    "Our boys absolutely love their books from Malo Pepe! The little touches, such as the first page being dedicated to their name, help them establish a sense of belonging and connection to the book and the culture. My boys love reading together, and these books are perfect for families wanting to teach their children Gagana Samoa and build connection to the culture."
