Exclusive Books has a wonderful selection of wrapping paper and cards created by the children of The Little Artists School, a nurturing creative space for young talent in Braamfontein.
Each design is a celebration of imagination, self-expression and the power of art to uplift and inspire. Choosing one of these locally made pieces contributes to the children’s education, materials and continued creative growth.
Exclusive Books believes that supporting young local artists is essential to nurturing South Africa’s creative future. Art, like books, tells stories that challenge, inspire, and connect communities, and Exclusive Books is committed to ensuring that the next generation of artists are given the visibility and recognition they deserve.
Illustrators are, in every sense, artists
They give visual life to the written word, shaping how readers experience tone, emotion, and imagination. Through their brushstrokes, colours, and creative interpretation, illustrators transform narratives into tangible worlds, helping readers see what authors dream. From children’s picture books to richly designed covers and graphic novels, illustrators play a vital role in making literature not only read, but felt and seen — reminding us that every book is also a work of art.
Here’s a sneak peak of the different designs:
“We believe Exclusive Books, with its deep commitment to literacy, education, and cultural storytelling, would connect beautifully with this initiative. The partnership is not just a celebration—it’s an opportunity to engage with the young artists, witness their process, and see how art can become a tool for empowerment and agency.” – Diana Richards, Ojiji
This meaningful collaboration between Ojiji, The Little Artists School and Exclusive Books transforms the artwork of children into bold, limited-edition wrapping paper and cards.
The aim is to ensure Ojiji keeps the doors of the school open for the children. To keep them fed, loved, safe and creating. They also endeavour to give them the best chances at further education and future exposure in the industry.
Wrap beautifully and give meaningfully this festive season, available in selected Exclusive Books stores.
