A beautifully integral one is the story of friendship and love between children and their nannies.

She brings a bit of her world, words and heart into his. Sam in turn, does what all little boys do – he happily joins in the adventure. This particular story revolves around the idea of thwala – the Zulu word for carrying something on your head. By crossing a shallow stream for a picnic, Nelly teaches Sam the art of thwala and Sam learns that there is more than one way to use his head. This is a story of innocence, love and care that connects us across backgrounds. |
