After a hot day in South Africa’s Mpumalanga bushveld, Noko, a young crested porcupine with a big heart, scurries out of his burrow to meet up with his many friends at Nature’s Night School. But just before he leaves, his parents summon him back with exciting news. He’s going to be a big brother! Unfortunately, Noko isn’t nearly as thrilled as his mother and father. Noko is the baby of the family, and he thinks it should stay that way. A charming story of friendship and compassion, NOKO THE KNIGHT® is the perfect tale for young readers who are learning how to express their budding emotions and to navigate healthy friendships as they do so.
Available in English, Spanish & Afrikaans.
At recess, Noko and his friends scurry out of class at Nature’s Night School hurriedly so that they can devour the yummy lunches that their parents packed for them. Upon opening their lunch bags, and seeing Mmabudu’s lunch squirming about, it becomes clear to these bushveld buddies that, not only do they enjoy very different treats, but they also look quite different and that their families do things in very different ways. This sparks intrigue and leads Noko to investigate what makes each of their tribes so unique, and special. This leads to the celebration of the kaleidoscope of South African people and cultures; our “Rainbow Nation“.
Available in English, Spanish & Afrikaans.

They also learn about safety in the kitchen and the importance of sharing treasured moments with those nearest and dearest to them – their family and their diverse circle of bushveld buddies.
