Pumpkin and the hidden heroes

About the book

THE BOOK
Pumpkin wakes one morning to a loud noise. When she and Toots the cat peak throught the window, they see people who are removing the trash. The men and women look dashing in their uniforms, like real heroes. Then Pumpkin starts to wonder about all of the hidden heroes out there ...

‘Look for bits of magic
that hide out in plain sight.
Hidden Heroes are often quiet
and don’t talk about their plight.
They improve the lives of others,
make a difference where they can.
They look out for what needs to be done,
and DO it – that’s their plan.”

A beautiful story that shows children there are heroes everywhere, you just need to look for them!

DIE BOEK
Pampoenpit word een oggend wakker van ’n geraas. Toe sy en Toets die kat by die venster uitloer, sien hulle mense wat besig is om rommel te verwyder. Die mans en vroue skitter en blink in hul uniforms, soos ware helde. Toe begin Pampoenpit wonder oor waar daar oral geheime helde is ...

“Hulle doen hul werk soms stil-stil,
hier reg onder jou neus.
As jy Geheime Helde raaksien,
kan jy leer om een te wees!
Hulle maak menselewens beter,
maak ’n verskil waar hulle kan.
Hulle vind uit wat gedoen moet word
en DOEN dit – dis hul plan.”

’n Pragtige storie wat vir kinders wys dat daar geheime helde oral in ons wêreld is, mens moet hulle net soek!
