And then I thought and imagined about it and let that guide me. For example, on the card that says ‘I breathe to feel relaxed’ I imagined myself meditating, and the warm glow I felt around me and the comfort of having my pet close by. I also researched designs on traditional African patterns to draw onto the characters’ clothes. Who are the characters? They’re all made…

The other ants took what they found to store for winter underground. Klein Miertjie lees die heel dag deur, hy lees en lees en lees alweer. Die ander miere dra kos aan in hul mond en stoor dit vir die winter onder die grond. 3 His mum and dad got really mad, and Little Ant felt really bad. Sy pa en ma sê hy maak nie reg, en…

ENGLISH Every morning Koketso helps her granny feed the chickens in the chicken coop in their back yard. “Pok, pok, pok,” calls Granny and the chickens come running up to the fence. “Pok, pok, pok,” they say. “Paak, paak, paaaak!” And when Granny and Koketso lean over the low fence to scatter the seed, the chickens push and flap and flutter around, and try to jump over each other to get to the food first.
