Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines and elders from the past and the present.
South African women are silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and educationists. The title ‘Imbokodo’ was been chosen as it is a Zulu word that means “rock” and is often used in the saying ‘Wathint’ Abafazi, Wathint’ Imbokodo!’, which means “You Strike a Women, You Strike a Rock!”
In 10 Curious Inventors, Healers & Creators you will read about the women who shape our world through education, science and maths. You will read about women who became teachers, nurses, social workers, scientists and community workers, overcame obstacles and through their work fought for social change.

Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything
besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she
finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether
their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in
the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for
fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo. Jenny didn't get to be an
award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing
practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo.
Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is
exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And
yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable
evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his
flight home to South Korea. With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no
use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her
mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who
does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted
to? Jaewoo. Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet
in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student.
Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in
the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden
from dating anyone. When a relationship means not only jeopardizing
her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything
Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how
much she's willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that
proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your
heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh. Indigo Best Teen Books of

best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Jean-Michel Basquiat, the graffiti street art movement pioneer.
Jean-Michel was born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Puerto Rican

which sparked his interest in the human form. As a teenager, he

Manhattan's Lower East Side. He eventually made his way to the New
York gallery scene and on to international acclaim. This moving
