Journey to Jo'Burg by Beverley Naidoo
5.0
Should be required reading.
I had the privilege of ‘meeting’ Beverley Naidoo in a Zoom lecture recently and was so inspired by her and her story I knew I had to pick this book up immediately. Reading it, I am so impressed how Naidoo has tackled a very brutal and disturbing topic and made it accessible, while thought provoking, to children.
Naidoo talked about teaching children to THINK, not just facts and dates. As an educator, that really resonated with me. Our children need to be able to see the world and critical of it in order to improve it. Books like this are an amazing start.
