- A small paragraph should be added explaining why the author thinks their
book will do well with Xarra Books.
This book will do well because it is written by a young person, it is written
in setswana it will be inspiration for many medias to see such a young
person who is very proud of his home language covering the most
significates parts of our times of which it is a rare thing to find when it
comes to writing. A young boy who grew up in a community of robbers,
drunkards and fighters painting such a beautiful gold it will be inspiration
to young people too, ''if one of us can do it we can do it too'' they will say,
this book will be a 'changing factor in setswana poetry' it won't get old
everything that it covers will always have a place on someone's heart.
