Wendy lives and works in lovely Kleinmond. Her passion is to help children to better understand their own world and each other across cultural boundaries through the stories of their ancestors. Wendy is the only children’s book author in South Africa who has produced 12 anthologies of high quality under this banner in the last 16 years. Her canonization of folktales, legends and true stories to hero stories, animal stories and ghost stories treads deeply into the literary storyscape of conservation as children are empowered to face the challenges of every day through stories.
