A wolf and a sheep fall in love. They have a son that they call Woolf: he's half wolf, half woolly sheep! This is Woolf's story.
It's not easy being different, not quite fitting in with one group or another. When Woolf tries to impress the wolves, he finds it fun for a while, but they're a bit too wild. When he tries to follow the sheep, he finds it all a bit, well, boring.
Can Woolf find his own way in life and make his own friends that like him for who he is, not who he's trying to be?
An evil man is reincarnated as a terrible smell and over time falls in love with a woman. A stranger arrives at the door of a heavenly house, but unlike everyone else there, she will only live once. A person dies and goes to a place where all living things go – a menagerie of animals roaming an endless meadow – and he finds love in familiar faces. A mother and a son reunite in a heaven that is also a hell – depending on how you see it. Two people die on the moon and live undead through eons, moving through the phases of love while watching the lights on Earth flicker out.
The South African Alphabet is not your typical ‘ABC’ book for children. It has been splendidly illustrated by Alex Latimer with illustrations on subjects unique to South Africa.
When night falls and the shadows get longer and darker, Mouse is
scared. How will he find his way home? Luckily he meets a firefly
who reassures him, 'I'm Ray and I'll light your way.' On their
starlit walk, however, it can seem that every shadow is lurking
danger. And the meerkat, chickens, frogs and squirrels who join
them agree-until Ray flies close with his light and shows what the
shadows really are. But sometimes, just sometimes, the shadows
might be just what they look like . . .
Saadjie en Spikkel is soos vinkel en koljander, maar terwyl hulle vriendskap groei, word hulle self ook groter. Vir Saadjie beteken dit dat hy wortels kry.

Al skei die lewe hulle van mekaar, vind ware vriende altyd hulle pad terug, en niemand is groter maats as Spikkel en Saadjie nie.
From standout author, Alex Latimer, and bestselling illustrator,
David Litchfield, comes a beautiful picture book about finding -
and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a
nearby nest. When Pip and Egg first meet, they are almost the same
size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David
