An inspiring story, based on the author’s childhood in Soweto in the 1970s.
In spite of the bleak surroundings in the township, Nokuthula’ s parents were able to maintain a joyful, celebratory home life. Sam van Riet’s lyrically gentle illustrations reflect the disconnect between the outside world, and the happiness within the four walls of the family house.
This book is an ode to the value of hope, love and close-knit family relationships.
