Beautifully designed and accessibly written, it is filled with images and stories about key milestones and well-known figures in South African history. But it is also filled with lesser-known stories of unsung heroes and heroines, and small stories of resistance, love and friendship that shaped everyday lives. A unique achievement of the book is the way in which it enables children to understand not just apartheid in the past, but how it continues to shape our lives in the present. While not shying away from the cruelty of apartheid, the authors also tell hopeful stories, challenging young readers to learn more about and from our history of injustice.”
