An award-winning story set in Southern Africa enabling early readers to explore life challenges and develop a growth mindset. Kumalo is raised in a remote rural village as the only child of his adoring mother, but is resented and rejected by his father. When his mother loses her sister unexpectedly, she adopts her orphan boys, providing fun-loving Kumalo with playmates.
The family is poor but finds love and support from friends in the community. By using his creative imagination, and helping wherever he can, Kumalo finally gains his dad's acceptance.
Quiet Kumalo is an interactive early reader enabling children to expand their vocabulary and develop a growth mindset. Topics touched upon include: grief and loss, death, depression, rejection, adoption, family values and non-traditional forms of money management such as bartering. At the end, the reader is given the opportunity to write their own story.
