When we meet someone, one of the things we notice is the colour of their skin. But what can someone's skin colour tell us about them? Despite what some people say, your skin means very little! Inside we're all the same.
Join Njabulo, Aisha, Tim, Chris and Roshni as they discover why humans have different skins, and how people's thinking about skin colour has changed throughout history. Skin We Are In is a celebration of the glorious human rainbow, both in South Africa and beyond.
One of South Africa's best-selling authors, Sindiwe Magona, has teamed up with well-known American anthropologist, Nina G. Jablonski, and award-winning illustrator Lynn Fellman to create a much-needed book about race and skin colour – for children. Magona has written a story of five friends as they explore and discuss the skin they are in. The scientific narrative, written by Jablonski, expands and supports the conversation topics generated by the children's adventure.
"A spooky, funny, magical and atmospheric adventure with a
compelling hero you will adore. " Jessica Townsend, New York Times
bestselling author of Nevermoor Maybe some ghosts enjoy walking
through walls and being invisible - not me. I never asked to be a
kid ghost. With no memory of the kid she was before she was taken
by the Witches, Corpse is bound to haunt the
rock-that-doesn't-exist for ever. Until she learns of a treasure,
one that can reunite Corpse with her family and her name. She must
set off for answers, on a journey across the stormy sea, battling
magic, zombie-skeletons and monsters. But the Witches want the
treasure too. And they'll do anything to get to it first. Welcome
to Elston-Fright, a forgotten town where witches lurk, sea monsters
roam and a girl is on the hunt for answers...
In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance
begins. But in this time and place, sparks like these can only
ignite trouble. It's 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no
mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian
leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his
own confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he's not the
only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery
boy have the courage to meet - and if they do, what will it take to
hold on to each other?
