Dancing is Byron Carelse's life. It's his energy, his passion, his happy place ... his spark. When the rhythm takes hold of his body, he forgets about all the troubles waiting for him at home. His best friend Tasha says he shouldn't allow other people to steal his spark. But she doesn't have a clue about the things going on in Byron's home. And perhaps it's better that way. What will she think of him? One day, somebody spots Byron's talent. Along with a group of other township kids, he gets the opportunity to take part in a show at a big arts festival. But what are you supposed to do when life tries to steal your dream from you?

Jessica Rabbit probeer nie voorgee om iets te wees wat sy nie is nie. Sy’s ’n uitlokkende vrou en klaar.

Op haar een-en-dertigste verjaarsdag besluit Roxy sy soek ’n roekelose, skelrooi lipstiek-lewe. Almal dink in elk geval sy is sletterig en uitgesproke – grotendeels weens haar blog wat sy onder die skuilnaam Jessica Rabbit skryf. Haar kollega Zander dink sy is Jessica Rabbit in lewende lywe: so witwarm sensueel dat sy ’n nat lap aan die brand kan steek. Roxy voel allesbehalwe sensueel, en die geraamtes uit haar verlede beduiwel telkens haar flirtasies en verhoudings. Daarom gryp sy nou na rooi lipstiek.

Wanneer Zander se pa, die bekende motiveringspreker Adam Muller, op die toneel verskyn, raak Roxy se lipstiek-lewe nog meer deurmekaar. Die enigste sekerheid in Roxy se nuwe wêreld blyk Ouma Lot te wees – totdat dié ook in raaisels begin praat. Roxy se lipstiek begin al meer na oorlogsverf lyk. . .

Colourful scenes of the African bushveld, the coast, night-time and river environment reinforce words encountered earlier in the title and help young children to "test" their knowledge while learning about the environment.

Simple activities follow in which children can identify the animals they have seen, match animals to their shapes, identify animal hides, and learn comparisons.
