How Many Ways Can You Say Thank You?

In How Many Ways Can You Say Hello? Sara went on a hot air balloon adventure through South Africa to find out all the ways to say ‘hello’ and along the way she made many new friends who joined her at school to put on a show. Eventually, they made their way home and Sara learnt how to say ‘goodbye’ in How Many Ways Can You Say Goodbye? But now Sara is back in the hot air balloon and has decided to pay all her friends a visit. As they share their food, they learn all the ways to say thank you and express gratitude in all South Africa’s official languages (including sign). Young readers are invited to join them on this fun adventure, written in rhyming verse and beautifully illustrated. Plus, author Refiloe Moahloli has once again narrated the story, available as a downloadable link, to guide with pronunciation.

Zinelda McDonald’s first-ever preschool drawing was a rose. Neither the teacher nor her mother could tell what it was. But that hardly matters now – these days, her name graces numerous celebrated books as the illustrator. Over the years, she’s drawn all sorts of things: monsters, princesses, slippers, grannies, elephants, aliens, and yes – roses too. No one struggles to decipher her illustrations anymore; instead, they’ve earned her awards time and again.
