Future by Design and Terranova, are proud to announce the launch of “The Children’s Mandela” – A tribute to Nelson Mandela from the children of South Africa. The book has taken over a decade to complete and has finally been brought to life thanks to the hard work of our team and the paper sponsorship by Antalis and the generous financial sponsorship by Nedbank, who have a close affiliation to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
Of all the works dedicated to the great Madiba, ‘The Children’s Mandela’ is perhaps the most touching you will ever read. Loaded with truths and insights, witticisms and cynicisms, it offers a unique and wonderfully innocent perspective on the former President, straight from the mouths of babes. The book features the best of 40,000 answers and colour drawings submitted by South African children in response to 25 questions on Mandela. The answers will make you swell with pride, well with tears and peal with laughter.
The book was launched at a function at Nedbank head office in Sandton, on the 9th November 2010, with nearly 100 honoured guests and representatives from the press in attendance. A special mention must be made of Mr Charles Priebatsch, of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, who collected a signed copy of the book on behalf of Nelson Mandela, and Mr. Ernie Campbell, of the Oprah Winfrey Academy for Girls, who collected a signed book on behalf of Mrs. Winfrey.
The book is a must for Christmas and will appeal to most adults and children of reading age, who can understand their wonderful way of explaining how they see the world.
The book is being distributed by Wilddog Press and is available from all major book retailers.
Books are available in bulk to government, institutions and corporations. To order please fill in the form on the contacts page and one of our sales people will contact you.
