Long walk to Freedom

The Children's version of Long Walk to Freedom by Chris van Wyk has just been published. Paddy Bouma, one of SCBWI SA’s Committee members, did the wonderful illustrations, many of them based on actual photographs. This is a task that took almost a year to complete. She calls the work the crowning piece of her career in this interview with Bianca Capazorio
