The Gift of Gold
Join little Thandi in a quest to save her village from the drought, and get to know her unusual new friend…
With ‘The Gift of Gold’, Dorothy Kowen brings to life the mythical tale of the ‘tokolosh’ and shows that behind a terrifying appearance, a true friend could be hidden. Against a rural South African backdrop, this magical story teaches the reader about the fragile earth and the power of friendship, when we have the courage to look beyond our comfort zones. Beautiful illustrations and the voice of a small child will keep both young and old readers captivated throughout the story, which ends with an important lesson about love and giving.
The book was published by Jacana Media in February 2010 and is available in isiZulu, isiXhosa, English and Afrikaans.
