A touching picture book about resilience, identity, and familial love.
Every morning when Ta’mkhulu helps Zinzo to shine his shoes, he reminds
him that he has big shoes to fill. Zinzo wants to make his dads proud,
even though they live far away in the city. His grandfather sets a
great example by being kind and caring to everyone in the village. But
when the children at school learn about Zinzo’s unconventional family
they are not kind to him at all. Can Zinzo show them that being
different is nothing to be afraid of? Big Shoes to Fill is a proudly
South African book that encourages acceptance, understanding and
kindness towards the LBGTQI+ community. This picture book is not only a
tribute to the unbreakable bonds of family but also a celebration of
the courage to stand tall in one’s own shoes. Also available in

Ernst is 'n aaklige kiem, 'n vreesaanjaende kiem. Die wetenskaplike
wat hom ontdek het, Professor Pluk, is sy eerste slagoffer. Die dag
toe die professor hom vir die eerste keer onder sy mikroskoop
gewaar, spring hy op die professor en klim tot binne-in sy brein.
Vandaar vermaak hy homself deur vreemde opdragte vir die professor
te gee: hardloop die comrades-maraton met hoehakskoene, kam 'n
kameelperd se kuif, nooi kannibale uit vir aandete, verf die
marsmannetjies rooi … en Pluk gehoorsaam elke keer. 'n Heerlike
absurde kinderboek wat kinders en ouers met humor en helderkleurige
illustrasies vermaak.
Leeu kan nie skryf nie. Maar dit pla hom nie, want hy kan brul en
sy tande wys. En meer het hy nie nodig nie. Maar op ’n dag kom hy
’n leeuwyfie tee. En nou? Hoe kan hy vir die wyfie se dat hy van
haar hou as hy nie kan skryf nie? Hy vra die ander diere om te
skryf, natuurlik. Maar is dit werklik so ’n goeie idee?
Hond is lief vir sy vriende. Hy dink hulle is fantasties. Maar hy
dink ook hy is die beste, en hy hou nie op om hulle te vertel nie.
So wat gebeur toe sy vriende besluit om hom ’n les te leer deur hom
te wys waarin hulle die beste is? Die skrywer vertel: "Die idee vir
hierdie boek het by my ontstaan nadat ek 'n tenniswedstryd gewen
het. Ek het dit geniet om heeltyd by vriende en familie te spog, en
toe besef ek dat ek dit onder hulle neuse vryf, net soos Hond!"
