It has become a huge field of research, but when Caroline Kurtz grew up, only a handful of misunderstood kids knew what it was like never to belong anywhere. Those kids, with parents in the mission field, military or diplomatic services, had no support and no-one studied their needs.Caroline Kurtz grew up in the remote mountains of Maji, Ethiopia in the 1950s. Inside their mud hut, living with her missionary parents and three sisters, she enjoyed an American family life.Outside, her world was shaped by drums; Jeep and mule treks into the countryside; ostriches on the air strip; and several Ethiopian languages she barely understood but longed to learn.Finally, she returned to the USA, a country she did not understand, despite her upbringing. Caroline felt like she had been exiled to a foreign country when she went to college in Illinois.After completing her studies, she returned to Ethiopia to teach, only to discover how complex working in another culture and language really is.The best-known book with a similar theme is Barbara Kingsolver\u2019s <em>The Poisonwood Bible<\/em>. It was a mega-seller about American girls from missionary parents who struggled to find their home \u2013 neither belonging in Africa, nor in the USA.Closer to home, Kopano Matlwa wrote a big seller called <em>Coconut<\/em> about a girl who grew up between cultures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For the young ones<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-198641 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/2-110-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-39.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/5-86-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/5-33.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/4-90-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-33.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/3-109-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"124\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/3-34.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong><em>In Opleiding-reeks <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cath Ard<\/p>\n<p>Drukaam: LAPA<\/p>\n<p>Kinderniefiksie<\/p>\n<p>Ouderdom: 7+<\/p>\n<p>9780799392500 (Veearts)<\/p>\n<p>9780799392517 (Atleet)<\/p>\n<p>9780799392531 (Brandbestryder)<\/p>\n<p>9780799392524 (Kodeerder)<\/p>\n<p>R140,00<\/p>\n<p>These books are packed with bite-sized chunks of information and fun facts about careers, like being a vet, an athlete, a firefighter or a coder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72890\" src=\"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-35.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>My groot lofkleuterbybel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jan de Wet<\/p>\n<p>Kleuterniefiksie<\/p>\n<p>Druknaam: LAPA<\/p>\n<p>Ouderdom: 5+<\/p>\n<p>9780799398144<\/p>\n<p>R220.00<\/p>\n<p>Read, listen and enjoy the Bible stories, songs and illustrations in this book along with your children.
