The African Orchestra

This brilliant new picture book is not a story. Instead, it is an exploration of the sounds of Africa through verse text and glorious illustrations. Starting with the natural noises of insects, creatures, wind and water, adding in African musical instruments, and ending with “the song of the stars”. It reads aloud superbly alongside pictures which can be explored endlessly. A new “classic” of South African Children’s literature.
