This endearing picture book from South Africa follows the story of a little girl who, with help from her grandmother, explores her identity and learns to appreciate her name.
"There was once a beautiful little girl with a heart as big as her name, Kantiga. But Kantiga did not like her name." Hearing this, her gogo tells her a family tale of the magical clay pot that seems to be useless because it is cracked and broken. We learn how this flaw makes it more than perfect. Follow this beautiful tale, full of color and folklore, as Kantiga tries to find the perfect name and on the journey learns a bit more about who she is and where she is from.Author Biography
Mabel Mnensa is an avid reader, poet, and writer. A lover of words and stories, she completed her Master's degrees with distinctions--an MA in English Literature from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (2010) and an MA in Creative Writing from University College Dublin (2022). Her published work ranges from children's picture stories to prose that explores alternate worlds and realities. Mabel's debut children's picture book, Kantiga Finds the Perfect Name was written, inspired by her niece and the stories she was told growing up. Chantelle and Burgen Thorne are internationally published illustrators with over 20 years' experience in educational publishing. Their focus is picture books for children with several more titles being released internationally this year, because the magic of children's books is that they're not just for kids. Avid bookworms themselves, they take great delight in the visual storytelling of picture books, art and text working together, every word and every image adding to the reader's experience. Both have fond memories of being read to as children and this inspires them to make their illustrations as engaging, honest and relevant to young readers as they possibly can--what a wonderful way to spend one's working day!
