“I now know that it is true that children learn from adults. Most of the time one doesn‘t need a blackboard or books to teach young minds; they learn through example; they mimic”.......very true 🤔

Pickpick

Although it‘s not 100% pick: I am glad, I read this book. It‘s a sad tail of events and left me with more questions than answers for the characters. I was surprised that it was based on true life events💔. As painful as it was, there were parts that left me detached aswell....so many unknowns. This was an easy read...overall ☺️well done Thuli
