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!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10
Extraordinary Leaders, Activists & Protesters you will read
about women who fought against colonialism and oppression. Here are
the stories of women heroes through history, whose stories are
connected because of a shared passion for equality and justice.
From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little
People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of King Charles.
Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job
to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in
the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom. As
a young man, he developed a passion for one cause; the environment.
Charles recognised that plastics and pollutants were causing harm
to Earth, and as the Prince of Wales, he spent all his efforts
championing climate justice and sustainability. As a member of the
Royal Family, Charles used his power to build important
organisations such as The Prince's Trust, a charity that works to
improve the lives of young people across the UK. And in 2022, when
he became King, he pledged that he would spend the rest of his life
serving his people with loyalty, respect and love. This inspiring
book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at
the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos
and a detailed profile of the royal's life, from little prince to
grown-up king. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of
books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding
people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All
of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child
with a dream.
