Tullula

Description

Tullula is a majestic bird born into royalty – the ndunas of the herd.

Being a nduna means having to guard the skies at night (although it’s not entirely clear what the ndunas are guarding against). Tullula longs for something different, so she sneaks off during the day (while the rest of the ndunas are sleeping) to explore what life is like living in sunlight.

The book includes a bonus CD featuring the Tullula song and a reading of the story by the author.

Refiloe Moahloli is the author of the bestselling ‘How many ways can you say hello?’ She is an aunt to many nieces and nephews, who consider her to be one of them due to her modest height. Life with them inspires a number of stories, which float in her head at all times.

Simon Mahlo (illustrator) grew up in Morapalala village in Limpopo, South Africa. He is the founder and designer at Mahlo Arts and Design, where he collaborates with women in rural Limpopo to create hand-embroidered home decor products.
