Another exciting addition to the existing Mpumi range, this book is aimed at the younger child and features a younger Mpumi.

Masego Morulane’s illustrations encourage young readers to connect with themselves and with the world in which they live. The bright and cheerful images, which are accompanied by short bursts of text, explain in an easy-to-understand visual language, our daily activities as human beings. In this story, Mpumi shows us her favourite meals.

This story is a charming read for the whole family, especially children aged between 3-6 years old.

For once, this is not a book about 'transactional sex' or HIV. There is no moral panic over women having standards in their romantic lives, or easy clichés of desperation in the face of unrelenting African poverty. In this book, Lebohang Masango explores how women in South Africa give meaning to aspiration, romance and love in their pursuit of the soft life -- a life free of hardship.

Love it or hate it, soft life will not be a passing trend, even if it carries different names in the future.
