Two People Can

Author: Blessing MusaririIllustrator: Maisie Paradise Shearring

A profound story about loss and coming to accept sudden change. Shingai misses his dad, and becomes impatient and boisterous. This turmoil cleverly matches the emotions Shingai feels and the trouble he has coming to terms with change in his family. There’s a spirited nature to the warm, characterful illustrations.
