16-year-old author launches her second book

Sixteen-year-old author Jess Robus aims to tackle childhood, family, identity, and belonging in her latest book, Arnold the Not Dinosaur, which was launched at Fourways Gardens recently.

The book tells the tale of Arnold who must grapple with issues of personal identity and staying true to himself in a world full of people insisting that he must be something other than what he truly is. The book is perfect for children up to seven years old, with a dyslexic-friendly font, which makes it easier for everyone to read.

Young and old gathered at the Fourways Gardens to enjoy the launch.

Fourways Review journalist Success Mthombeni was there to capture the day.
