This new edition of Sing, Africa! Poems and songs for children combines the original edition with We Call the Whales.

In 1984, in opposition to apartheid, I opened a non-racial pre-school in Grahamstown called Rivendell Children Centre. Teaching was based on principles of peace, non-violence, non-racism and care of the earth. Over the ten years of the Centre's existence, children of all races and of different cultural, religious and economic backgrounds were taught, through story-telling, poetry, art, pottery, music, song and drama to care about each other and to cherish the natural world. Sing, Africa! is a collection of some of the magical material we used to inspire children towards friendship and care of the earth.
