O A Ratwa

Athandwa’s heart is different. For as long as she can remember, her heart sings. At first it scares her. Why is she different from her family and friends? But when she tries to silence her heart, she discovers a secret … and a special song. A song that Mama, Gogo and Koko also know. You are loved is a lyrical story about accepting the things that make us unique and celebrating the intergenerational love that lifts and protects us.
