Adapted for younger readers from Born a Crime: And Other Stories-
the #1 South African and New York Times bestseller
‘If my mother had one goal, it was to free my mind. My mother spoke to me like an adult. She was big into Psalms. I had to read Psalms every day. She would quiz me on it. “What does the passage mean? What does it mean to you? How do you apply it to your life:” That was every day of my life. My mom did what the school didn’t. She taught me how to think.
In Born a Crime, Trevor Noah shares his remarkable story of growing up in South Africa with a black South African mother and a white European father at a time when it was against the law for a mixed-race child to exist. But he did exist and from the beginning, the often-misbehaved Trevor used his quick wits and humour to navigate a harsh life.
This edition of Trevor’s fascinating memoir blends drama, comedy and tragedy to depict the day-to-day trials that turned a mischievous young boy into a restless young man. Against all the odds, and supported his mom’s unwavering love and indomitable will, Trevor overcame many obstacles and created a promising future for himself.
Born a Crime provides a fascinating and honest perspective on South Africa’s racial history and it will also inspire readers looking to improve their own lives.
TREVOR NOAH is a much-loved South African comedian, who is currently the host of The Daily Show.
'A thrilling journey into a magical world packed with Rob's
brilliant humour.' - David Walliams on Peanut Jones and the
Illustrated City Some legends are born, some are drawn . . . Famous
works of art are disappearing from all over the world. One moment
they are there, the next, they have crumbled to dust. Peanut Jones,
artist and adventurer, and her friends suspect it might have
something to do with the magical world of Chroma and the wicked Mr
White's plot to wipe out colour, art and creativity. It's time to
head back to the Illustrated City and help the resistance fight
back. . . Superstar, author and illustrator Rob Biddulph dazzles in
Peanut Jones and the Twelve Portals. This second title in the
hilarious adventure series for boys and girls aged 8 to 12 fizzes
with magic, danger, friendship and art. It is fully illustrated
throughout by Rob, the creative genius behind #DrawWithRob. Praise

City: 'Peanut Jones is AWESOME. I loved this book from start to
finish - the story is packed with twists and turns, and Rob's
illustrations are full of wit and warmth . . . I need to know what
happens next!' - Nadia Shireen 'A wildly imaginative, big-hearted

In February 2017, Rochelle Riley was reading Twitter posts and came
across a series of black-and-white photos of four-year-old Lola
dressed up as different African American women who had made
history. Rochelle was immediately smitten. She was so proud to see
this little girl so powerfully honor the struggle and achievement
of women several decades her senior. Rochelle reached out to Lola's
mom, Cristi Smith-Jones, and asked to pair her writing with
Smith-Jones's incredible photographs for a book. The goal? To teach
children on the cusp of puberty that they could be anything they
aspired to be, that every famous person was once a child who, in
some cases, overcame great obstacles to achieve. That They Lived:
African Americans Who Changed the World features Riley's grandson,
Caleb, and Lola photographed in timeless black and white, dressed
as important individuals such as business owners, educators, civil
rights leaders, and artists, alongside detailed biographies that
begin with the figures as young children who had the same
ambitions, fears, strengths, and obstacles facing them that readers
today may still experience. Muhammad Ali's bike was stolen when he
was twelve years old and the police officer he reported the crime
to suggested he learn how to fight before he caught up with the
thief. Bessie Coleman, the first African American female aviator,
collected and washed her neighbors' dirty laundry so she could
raise enough money for college. When Duke Ellington was seven years
old, he preferred playing baseball to attending the piano lessons
his mom had arranged. That They Lived fills in gaps in the history
that American children have been taught for generations. For
African American children, it will prove that they are more than
descendants of the enslaved. For all children, it will show that
every child can achieve great things and work together to make the
world a better place for all. That They Lived was made possible
through a grant provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast
Michigan.
