Time to Go

R130.00

In this lyrical story from the award winning Bester sisters, a mother Wildebeest calls her child to finish playing because it is time to go. But the child is not ready. As the push and pull continues, we learn that the Wildebeest and Zebra are in fact leaving their home behind to move to a new place.

Time to Go is a story about endings and loss, yet it affirms the joys and adventures of life. To the end, the child is gently encouraged to accept the change and to embrace hope. This book quietly acknowledges the experience of displaced families and communities.
