Rorisang and her twin brother Mo must start the school year at a new school after their mom decides that the family needs to get out of their comfort zone.

The twins have attended the school across the road since they were toddlers. All their friends are there, and their dad is best friends with the headmaster. The new school is far from their house, the extramural activities that are on offer are unfamiliar and the ones that Rorisang used to excel at in her old school is dominated by kids far better than her.

Luckily Rorisang makes new friends quickly, learns to play softball and performs a praise poem at the Eisteddfod. She even survives the long trips in the car with her pest of a brother!

A heartwarming story that celebrates family and friendship and finding your voice amidst change. The book is also available in isiZulu and Afrikaans.

Rorisang en haar tweelingbroer, Mo, moet die skooljaar by ’n nuwe skool begin nadat hulle ma besluit het dat die gesin uit hulle gemaksone moet kom.

Die tweeling is al sedert hulle kleuters was in die skool oorkant die pad. Al hulle vriende is daar en die skoolhoof is hulle pa se beste vriend. Die nuwe skool is ver van hulle huis af en soggens sit hulle in die verkeer vas. Die buitemuurse aktiwiteite wat aangebied word, is dinge waarvan Rorisang nog nooit eens gehoor het nie, en alhoewel sy goed gevaar het in atletiek in haar ou skool, verloor sy ver teen haar nuwe klasmaats.

Maar gelukkig maak sy sommer vinnig vriende, leer hoe om sagtebal te speel en neem deel aan die Eisteddfod. Sy oorleef selfs die lang ritte in die motor saam met haar irriterende broer deur speellyste saam te speel wat in elke lid van die gesin se musieksmaak val!

’n Storie oor die belangrikheid van vriendskap en familie en om jou stem te vind te midde van verandering.

Die boek is ook beskikbaar in isiZulu en Engels.

Sonia and I have a lot in common. Our parents are divorced. Our dads are gay. We both love barbecue potato chips. But she is different from me in at least one way: you can't tell how she's feeling just by looking at her. At all.

They're both ten. They're both in fifth grade. Though they've never met, Bea knows that she and Sonia will be perfect sisters. Just like sisters anywhere, Bea thinks. But as the wedding day approaches, Bea makes discoveries that lead her to a possibly disastrous choice.

Making a new family brings questions, surprises, and joy in this brilliant modern classic by Newbery Medalist Rebecca Stead.

Using the colours of the rainbow to beautifully illustrate different emotions, I’m going to be a BIG BROTHER, helps children understand the range of emotions they may feel when experiencing change to their family unit.

With brilliant rhythmic verse, fun, bright and distinctive illustrations - this is a firm favourite with children and parents alike!

  • Psychologists recommend that the best way to introduce a new baby to an older sibling is by giving your older child a gift that’s from the baby such as a book or T-shirt that says big brother or big sister. So this is the perfect gift for parents to give to their children or family members/friends to bestow on them.
  • This book taps into the psychological importance of children naming feelings as the first step in helping them learn to identify them. It allows parents to discuss their children’s feelings with them in a fun and colourful way.
  • This book allows children to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings & develop into mentally strong children. Children who understand and are able to verbalise their emotions and have the coping skills to deal with them will build the confidence that they can handle whatever life throws their way.
  • In this book, the colours of the rainbow are used as a clever reference for children to identify their emotions with colours. Colour is important in reflecting and emphasizing the particular emotional states of a child as there is a colour feeling connection in preschool aged children.

"Our house, in Little Italy, shared a wall with the Rossis' next door, and our clothesline connected with the Pilettis' behind us. My mother used to say that if one of the neighbours' houses was swallowed up by hell, we would all be pulled down with them."
Smart, witty, and emotionally generous, "Tempting Faith DiNapoli" is first-time novelist Lisa Gabriele's alternately wrenching and funny coming-of-age story about a girl who is born with a powerful faith -- a faith that is sorely tested across the difficult years of her childhood and adolescence.
Bewildered by her lot as the daughter in a fundamentally and often hilariously dysfunctional family, Faith genuinely wants to be a good Catholic girl. And she's pretty sure Jesus loves her. Trouble is, she's angry. Angry with her father for leaving, her mom for never going anywhere, and her siblings -- just because they're around. So Faith lies. She cheats and she steals. In fact, she breaks every commandment on the list, mostly by accident. And in the process, Faith finds herself increasingly torn between the girl she and Jesus want her to be, and the girl she just plain happens to be.
Lisa Gabriele writes with rare confidence and insight. Her sure-handed narrative hums along on the charged rhythms of Faith's poignant quest for her own private happy ending. Charming, fresh, and big-hearted, "Tempting Faith DiNapoli "is a novel that will stay with readers long after the last page has been turned.

A wild night of partying and a run-in with one of the most notorious drug dealers in Gauteng turns Barries’ life upside down.

The police give him one simple choice – if he wants to stay out of jail, he has to spend the next six weeks on a farm, near a small coastal town in the Eastern Cape, right in the middle of nowhere. With his estranged father.

Slowly but surely, Barries comes to realise that the bottle of brandy stashed under the bed is not the only – or the darkest – secret his father is hiding.

Breath, a translation of the best-selling Asem, is a gripping novel for teens that doesn’t hesitate to tackle difficult themes.
