Description
Wondering how to start a conversation about the different and practical ways of caring and respecting older people- our grandmothers and fathers? Look no further. In this bilingual edition with rich texts in English and Luganda, you will embark on a journey exploring African Obuntu/ubuntu cultural ways of caring and showing respect to older people-our grandparents, storytellers, pillars of our families and communities. The proverbs included in the book will give you insight into the age-old wisdom and experience that is uniquely African. The activity questions at the end of the book will stimulate a conversation with your child about ways you can care for and respect older people, starting from your own family, to the community. Space is also provided where a child can write or draw a message to send to their grandparents to communicate love, care, respect. We hope that through this book, intergenerational solidarity will be enhanced where the older and younger generation live in harmony in our families. Enjoy the colourful illustrations that depict everyday life and strong-family ties and relationships between the young and old. African people in diaspora in particular will find the book helpful to start a conversation about African culture and African languages, which are under threat given the challenges of parenting in a diaspora context. The book is part of a series that teach African cultural ways of living.
