You and Me: Our Place

$14.95

By Leonie Norrington

Every morning Uncle Tobias goes fishing. Sometimes he is joined by two little boys. Together they spend the day moving from one place to another – from the beach, to the bridge and the mangroves on the outskirts of the city – and back to the edge of the city. Along the way they meet other friends of Uncle Tobias – Auntie Ruby and Old Isaac – and listen to stories about Uncle Tobias’ ancestors and other times.

You and Me- Our place is about difference – old and new cultures that exist side by side – but more importantly it is about sameness.
