Nelly and Sam Thwala

A beautiful story of friendship and love
Our wonderful, diverse, colourful country is filled with many de serving stories. A beautifully integral one is the story of friendship and love between children and their nannies. This story is the second title in the series about a little boy, Sam, and his wonderful, creative and inspiring nanny, Nelly. Nelly shares ideas, local history, tradition and culture with Sam. She brings a bit of her world, words and heart into his. Sam in turn, does what all little boys do - he happily joins in the adventure. This particular story revolves around the idea of thwala - the Zulu word for carrying something on your head. By crossing a shallow stream for a picnic, Nelly teaches Sam the art of thwala and Sam learns that there is more than one way to use his head. This is a story of innocence, love and care that connects us across backgrounds.
This title follows on the first in the series: Nelly and Sam - Beletha.
