I am so thrilled to see that this lovely book is available again. My grandson received this book from my sister as a christening present and we have read it together more times than I can count. The beautiful pictures and soothing tone of the book held his attention when he was very young, and Zenele's question and the wonderful answers from the animal kingdom intrigued him as he grew older (3 and up). I plan to buy 2 more copies right away - one for my church's nursery and one as a first birthday present. Don't be concerned that this book is religion-specific; it works for anyone willing to consider the question, "Who made me?"
Beautiful pictures and story

This beautifully illustrated book tells a simple story that can be appreciated on many levels. I used it in a mixed age Sunday School class (4-10 year olds) and I think all the kids enjoyed it AND got something out of it.
Spectacular artwork, delightful story.

Zanele has one big question. Who made her? to help her find the answer, she turns to her friends, the animals of the African bush. What she discovers by the end of the day is wiser than she ever imagined. Cathie Felstead's spectacular artwork is a perfect showpiece for Shirley Tulloch's engaging and delightful story.
excellent!

I really enjoyed this book - it's written and illustrated beautifully. The US Publishers Weekly calls it 'quiet and reverend', 'a book that captures the vastness of the African landscape'. That is exactly how I felt when the author presented me with a copy! The story is deceptively simple, and becomes ever more beautiful as it sinks in. It makes an excellent christening present.
