Written by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Emily Gravett, translated by Philip De Vos

Grot-baba is an exciting Afrikaans children’s picture book for ages 0–6 that combines adventure, humor, and prehistoric fun. A cheeky little baby is whisked away on a thrilling moonlit ride by a hairy mammoth, encountering a sabre-toothed tiger, a leaping hare, a laughing hyena, and maybe even a big brown bear! What are they up to, and how does it relate to Broeps’ scribbles on the cave wall? Created by the critically acclaimed author Julia Donaldson and Kate Greenaway medal winner Emily Gravett, this book promises a delightful and mischievous adventure for young readers.

The title translates to “Cave Baby” in English.

Ideal for young children, this book is especially well suited to bilingual families, Afrikaans-speaking households, and Afrikaans language learners in Australia.
