It’s Wonderful Me!  is the long-awaited book towards once again reconnecting young South Africans with their heritage. This children’s book is a rich portrait of the Zulu culture and life in rural KwaZulu-Natal. Discover the heart-warming story of two best friends, in a myriad of adventures on Gogo and Mkhulu’s farm. Their escapades have all been inspired by the author’s own stories.

The main character is the voice of a bold young black girl, who is essentially reclaiming herself. She has an energetic streak, and is filled with passion, confidence, and untold imagination.

The rhyming and vivid illustrations add to the fun aspects of reading and the affirmative messaging.
