For example, Black children only go to school to learn how to become servants, instead of learning about math or history. Black people are not being given the same rights as white people. As they find their mother, who works as a servant for a white family, they begin to understand what is really happening in their country. Since they live in a village far away from the city, the siblings are unaware of what is happening during this time of the Apartheid. When they first realized that their baby sister was ill, Naledi and Tiro went against their grandmother’s rules and decided to travel to Johannesburg by foot, to inform their Mma of their younger sister’s illness. The book tells the story of siblings Naledi and Tiro and how they make their way to Johannesburg from their village. I liked this book because of its plot, and that it pushes readers to broaden their perspectives.
