Boipelo’s Family Tree
R150.00
We follow Boipelo in the story as she works through a school project to make a family tree. Nervousness and apprehension step in because of experiences in her previous school where Boipelo was teased and her family invalidated because she has two moms.
In this book, we encounter the emotional complexity that difference can hold, the importance of providing a space for these emotions to be explored and the power of support, reassurance, courage and compassion.
Family diversity is woven into the story, a reminder of how realistically vast and varied families are.
“Remember that no one is better at being you than you, so always be yourself. Everything is always magical when you are proud of who you are,”. Is the book’s central rally that the reader can embrace.
