The Gift of the Sun: A Tale from South Africa

R160.00

All Thulani wants is a simple life basking in the sun. Tired of milking the cow, he exchanges it for a goat … the goat for a sheep … the sheep for three geese … until all he has left is a pocket of sunflower seeds! But the sunflower seeds feed the hens, the hens lay more eggs than ever, and before long Thulani is enjoying the gift of his new-found fortune. Dianne Stewart’s charming story and Jude Daly’s delightful illustrations will enchant children and adults alike. For the illustrations of this book Jude Daly received the Katrine Harries Award, as well as a place on the IBBY Honour List of 1998.
