Know My Name (Paperback)

Know My Name (Paperback)

Starting somewhere new isn't only about making friends. There's also the uncomfortable experience of no longer being the person who knows everyone, knows the routine or is already good at things. We like that Rorisang gets to struggle with that and gradually discover who she can be in a new environment.

About this resource

Rorisang and her twin brother Morena are starting at a new school, leaving behind familiar friends, routines and the place they have known since they were toddlers. Suddenly Rorisang has to find her feet somewhere nobody knows her name.

As she makes new friends, tries softball and performs a praise poem at the Eisteddfod, Rorisang begins to discover that starting over can also be an opportunity to find her voice and discover new strengths. A warm South African chapter book about change, friendship, family and growing confidence.
