Lizo’s Song Big Book Version (English)

The Little Library Life Skills Kit (along with the Literacy and Numeracy Kits) was initially developed to respond to a need for high quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities. After ten years successful use in schools, the kits have now been revised to meet the changing needs of learners, schools and the new education policies. The Life Skills Kit focuses on promoting life skills to learners of five to nine years of age, as stated in the National Curriculum Statement. Lizo’s song tells the story of a homeless boy living on the streets of Cape Town. He sings to passers-by in the hopes of earning some money. One day a member of a carnival band hears Lizo singing and invites him to join them. Lizo finally finds a place where he belongs.
