Another in the series of children's books by the best-selling author who hails from Zambia. Donk and the stubborn donkeys tells the story of a frustrated farmer who kept shouting at his donkeys because they were so stubborn. One of the younger donkeys - his name was Donk - became curious. Why are we so stubborn? This was the question he asked his older brothers, then his older sisters, but received no satisfactory replies. Then he met the fairy donkey who had wings and could fly and do loop-da-loops. After a lengthy conversation the fairy donkey gave a very wise reply, then flapped his wings and was gone. But what did the fairy donkey say which so satisfied young Donk? You'll have to read the book to find out.

Harry the Honest Horse is a delightful story that addresses important concepts such as not letting a joke go too far, and the value of being a champion for the truth, no matter how hard it may be sometimes.

From skylarking at school to a professorship at the best university in Africa. It's all here in this collection of loosely related memoir-essays: all twists in the winding road the author travelled to become a female computer science professor at the University of cape Town. Born and schooled in the Netherlands, Ms Keet didn't stay home for long. Her winding road had a distinctly international flavour. She has worked and studied in Ireland and Italy, and briefly in Peru and Cuba, before finding her way back to South Africa. The author herself says of her essays: ' They offer a peek into a kitchen where underway is making of a woman into an academic scientist when the yeast has been gender-spiked against her chances of rising.'
Here’s a new take on the classic Bible story of Noah and the great floods that spread across the world. This version is told from the point of view of the two birds who play key roles in the story. The birds are Robbie the raven and Debbie the dove.
Speaking as I Want is the outcome of conversations between a father (lecturer) and a daughter (student) on life and living in a period of intellectual uncertainty within and outside of universities. It seeks to provoke wider reflection on the way we live and the narratives that currently influence us.
The world is ending. People, animals, plants – there is a universal dying-off of the planet. Rumours persist of a reprieve but none appears. Two dogs and their human companions bond, as they trace a vivid circuit in a region not dissimilar to Cape Town; they encounter the violence and decay as they travel, struggling to survive. It’s a tough passage through societies of degradation and unsettled by a war beyond the mountains that encircle them.
