I have been very interested in Tibetan Buddhism as of late and I recently learned how to recite the Seven Line Prayer as well as write it out accurately. I am so captured by the Tibetan script's beauty that I wanted to try my hand at it. This is one of the ume scripts called Tsugtong. I still need to learn to terminate the sentences properly.

I was looking at these posters from the Gutenberg museum as a way to introduce my curious daughter (age 9) to the world's writing systems.
https://www.worldswritingsystems.org/poster.html
However, I wondered if anyone on here knows of any other (age-appropriate) resources in book (prreferred) or poster form that I should consider?
Boosts appreciated.

Cool fact!
But it's not the only writing system specially adapted to an African language. Another example is the Vai syllabary: https://omniglot.com/writing/vaisyllabary.htm
The #writingsystem for my new #conlang
Not sure there's a real-world lang using something like this, so rn I call it a "relative #abjad" bc instead of writing characters to represent sounds, each sound corresponds to a position on a slanted grid, so strokes you make actually mark the relationship between consonants. Each grid makes a single word
This says "A Tinus bib ti'as kiham bib kmam," spelled "X TNS BBB T'S KHM BBB KMM," & means "'The One speaks then I speak also."
