About: Legs, Bones and Eyes. A children's trilogy

Legs, Bones and Eyes, A Children's Trilogy is written by Dorian Haarhoff and illustrated by Helga Hoveka. These three stories for children are about rites of passage. Legs runs two important races, one for her Uncle Udi and one for herself. Simo and Sinde reluctantly help a bitter and lonely old man and in the process discover something about their own natures. Short-sighted Ringo, helped by his pet chameleon, Camo, uses his ears and eyes and saves his school from disaster.

Dorian Haarhoff, a Namibian children's writer and a poet, has four children who have taught him about stories. His other children's stories are Desert December (Songololo, Cape Town, and Clarion, New York) and Water from the Rock (Build a Book Collective and New Namibia Books).

Helga Hoveka is an award winning Namibian artist. She has illustrated several books and has recently worked on children's television programmes.
