[quote=Anonymous]The Fourteen Bears in Summer and Winter. A toddler book really. I have my original copy from 1975. Its out of print but the illustrations are so amazing. I remember just being entranced by that book. Kaffir Boy-Mark Mathabane. My mom gave this me in 8th grade when I was recovering from a tosillectomy. its the memoir of a black man living under apartheid and using tennis as a way out. it blew me away. A few years later he spoke at my high school. A lot schools in South where I am from have tried to ban the book. It has a ton "mature themes"- because it deals very frankly with the atrocities, violence and sexual violence in the slums. Im really glad in hind sight that my parents never censored our reading material. It was just the most amazing book at a really impressionable time in my life.[/quote]
