Die Boek
Uit die hart van Afrika kom ’n dringende roep, “Red die renoster!”
Met pragtige illustrasies deur Julie Smith-Belton, neem “Red die renoster” lesers op ’n reis oor die Afrikavlaktes, waar die laaste renosters steeds veg om oorlewing. Hierdie boek kombineer rym, feite en ’n passievolle boodskap van bewaring wat jong lesers sal inspireer om op te staan teen stropery en deel te word van die verandering.
Elke bladsy is ’n herinnering dat ons nog kan help. Deur die storie van hierdie majestueuse diere, ontdek kinders (en volwassenes!) hoe spanwerk, deernis en bewusmaking werklik ’n verskil kan maak.
The Book
This is the Afrikaans translation of the award-winning title “The Rumbling Rhino”. This book hopes to create awareness around endangered animals, to help educate and empower the next generation to be the game changers. Who knows? Some readers may even aspire to become game rangers!
It is time to stand up and say, ‘enough is enough’, even though the task may seem very tough. (The list is only getting longer and longer, these endangered animals getting fewer and fewer.)
It is not too late to join in the quest. Let’s stand up and put these poachers to the test. There is power in team work as more can be done. Let’s stand together to save every last one!
