Bongani’s Day in Words and Pictures by Gisele Wulfsohn
Part of the A Child’s Day series, Bongani’s Day focuses on the daily lives and experiences of a boy named Bongani.Bongani’s day begins just like it does for most children: he washes, brushes his teeth and has breakfast; later at school he learns all about the letter C and makes a clown face from a paper plate. But when Bongani gets home in the evening, he puts on his kwaito music videos and dances the kwasa kwasa to the lively sounds and rhythms of South Africa…
You’ll love this book for its:
- Fantastic photographs and stunning designs make this book truly attractive for children to read.
- Supplemented by information text, with glossary and pronunciation guide, further facts about the country, more typical words and phrases in Afrikaans.
SA Book Partners has two reviews of Bongani’s day on their site here:
Who would have believed it could happen? In Westdene, once an all-white racist Johannesburg neighborhood under apartheid, a seven-year-old, black child Bongani Mofokeng, lives with his aunt Manana, his white uncle David, and his two older cousins, Thabi and Flory. Accurate and entertaining, this lively photo-essay in A Child's Day series, with full-color pictures and a few paragraphs of text on every page, shows Bongani attending his integrated local school (where his favorite subject is computer skills).
