THE REVIEWS
Testimonials
My kids absolutely love this book. So refreshing to have home brewed characters that we can relate to.
It is so important to cultivate a culture of reading. My neice can’t read yet but went to the book launch and gave me a detailed breakdown of what was read to her. Let us continue to challenge young minds with creative story telling. Thank you Khanyi and Momo for you excellent story telling.
Personally I love the book and the illustrations. My four year old daughter loves loves the illustrations and she can get enough of me reading the book. Being a performer myself I read and perform for her while I read and we have so much fun. We can’t wait for many stories to come.
My kids love the reading book and ask lots of questions about the characters. They also enjoy colouring in the Khanyi and the Kite colouring book
This is such a heart warming story, my niece was just glued to it and fell in love with characters
