so-soI didn‘t appreciate this as much as I feel I should have. Historical fiction in war (WWI) and post-war Africa. Amazing writing, but not my typical read. Read for my country challenge.

so-soAnother #Afrikaans read for me...
I struggled a bit with the writing style and pacing of this one. At times nothing seems to happen, and the everything happens all at once.
I would however be interested in reading more of Venter's work, as it was so different form the usual Mystery/Romance I'm used to.

pickMy dad passed on his love of coffee table books to me, especially the ones about food, homes, and travel. This one beautifully sums up all three.
This is on my to-buy list now! 🥙
pickThis could be an engaging topic about Jane Goodalls life and experiences with animals. More specifically chimps. I would include this in my 1-2 grade classroom.
“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
This quote is powerful because it reflects Jane Goodall‘s philosophy about the impact of individual actions on the world. It‘s a call to action, encouraging readers to think about the positive influence they can have on their surroundings, whether through kindness, advocacy, or curiosity.
Reading about Jane Goodall‘s work with chimpanzees invites us to pause and think about the deep connection humans have with the natural world. Her ability to listen, observe, and respect animals is a lesson in patience, empathy, and understanding, qualities that help bridge the gap between humans and animals in ways that are both profound and lasting.
pickThis beautifully illustrated book offers a glimpse into Jane Goodall‘s early life and groundbreaking work with chimpanzees. It‘s a great choice for young readers interested in animals, conservation, and real-world heroes.
