She's only 11-years-old and she's already an award-winning published author with three books under her belt. Stacey Fru, one of South Africa's youngest writers is now working on her fourth and fifth books
She's only 11 years old and she's already an award-winning published author with three books under her belt. Stacey Fru, one of South Africa's youngest writers, spoke to Reuters about her literary journey.
Next up for publication this year are "Where’s Tammy", about a girl who goes missing because of her father’s negligence, and "Tim's Answer", which looks at how African children are taught to believe all good things come from the West. "... I knew was going to be a good story. So I didn't do any extra planning, I just started ...writing first day."The South African Department of Basic Education put the book on its approved list for young learners, and in 2017 Stacey became an artist-ambassador for Save the Children, on whose behalf she travels around the country promoting literacy in schools.
