This collection of essays analyzes the work of 29 authors and illustrators. South African children's and youth literature has a long history. The country is the most prolific publisher of children's books on the continent, producing perhaps the highest quality literature in Africa. Its traditions resonate within the larger world of children's literature but are solidly grounded in African myth and archetypes. The African diaspora in the U.S. and elsewhere have stories rooted in these oral traditions. Much has changed in South African literature for children since the 1994 transformation of the country. A field once dominated by all white and mostly female writers and illustrators has diversified, adding many new voices.
Little Emmitt is a three-year-old who has a big imagination. Thinking a big yellow bus has eaten his big sister, he is determined to find out the truth.
Mickey and his friends quiz each other on their knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic while riding to school on the bus.
The inspiration for writing poetry came years ago when I was in high school but I never seriously did anything about it until I started working in the school system. Just watching the children sometimes gave me ideas and brought a poem to mind. I guess being the mother of three, I never took the time to write anything down until I had an empty nest. Even then, I didn't get serious about writing a book until I started working at Sand Creek Elementary School five years ago. While helping third and fourth graders write simple poems. I became obsessed in writing myself. I would sometimes stay up late and write four or five poems in an evening. Some good and some not so good. One of the first poems I wrote was called Children Lost. I was inspired to write it after seeing so many children who seem to need attention they didn't get at home. Just a few kind words or praise from a teacher or an assistant was like giving them a new toy. To see their smiles when you complemented them on something done well just stole my heart. Life events would come to mind like the time my best friend and I went fishing and she was so eager to catch the big one that in her excitement to reel it in she fell and sat on it. That was the inspiration for Fishing with My Friend. Just thinking about my grandchildren would sometimes trigger a new poem. With nine grandchildren ranging in age from four to seventeen you never know what they will say or do. Whatever the reason, here are the results.

As an avid traveler for most of his adult life, author Michael Loveday has always been keen to soak up all he can about the essence of places from more unconventional sources. Not for him the pre-packaged official line served up by tourist companies, visitor guides and the like. In Big Yellow ?????, Loveday presents an unofficial travel guide - perhaps guerilla tourism. He doesnt include the choreographed, scripted, shepherded travel, packaged conveniently by tour companies and delivered comfortably, palatably and politically correctly, drawing a veil over the controversial bits. Instead, Loveday offers insights and knowledge of real people, on the ground, who may often turn your view of their world on its head and can even scare you a bit, or make you laugh hysterically, but will never leave you cozy, unchallenged, or in your comfort zone. From Albania to Zurich, the local taxi driver will take you to places you didnt anticipate, both physically and psychologically, and will leave you with a much more insightful view of their place. Someone once said there is no truth in history and the same sentiment might be applied to foreign travel so sit back, grasp your seat, clench your buttocks, expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride.
