There is no one they know better.

Wonderful book collection, and I really love the discussion questions, to help the kids transfer the lessons from the stories into their own lives.

That is so interesting! Names are definitely tied to cultural identity.

Though school is over, I’m rushing out to find these books for my kids to read this summer.

As I travel through South Africa, I have noticed that it is becoming more common for people to embrace their African name instead of using the Western name that traditionally schools and churches gave to children. This is a change that people are noticing as social equality continues to improve.
