Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Gogo, Thembi's great-grandmother, is so old that she never leaves the house. But when black South Africans win the vote the first time, she insists she and Thembi must go to the polling station. This story describes a milestone in South African history as seen through a child's eyes.
Thembi and her beloved great-grandmother, who has not left the house for many years, go together to vote on the momentous day when black South Africans are allowed to vote for the first time.
