About the books

These books have been put together by two Kommetjie mums, Linda Fellowes(aka Lulu) and Theresa Acker(aka Tee). We have aimed to make them fun and educational with a touch of magic.

Many of the photographs used in the books were taken by Lulu, in and around Cape Town, including the Aquarium, Boulders Beach, Robben Island, Kirstenbosch and Cape Point.

We have tried to make the pictures as real as possible, incorporating the fauna and flora of the Cape Peninsula. Children really enjoy seeing places, creatures and things that they know/recognise.

Tee is an illustrator and graphic designer with many years of experience in the printing and advertising industry. She has designed a number of books including South Africa’s top selling artist, Pieter van der Westhuizen’s two coffee table books, and she illustrates and designs many of South Africa’s leading greeting card ranges. She also has great fun with her decorative range of art using etched metal which she supplies to décor shops and galleries to see more of Tee's work click here .

Lulu is a systems analyst/programmer, who has a passion for the sea, travel and photography. She was a volunteer at the shelter where the penguins were cleaned, fed and tagged. She handed out oilskins and wellies, cleaned hundreds of fish (to be fed to the penguins) and scrubbed guano-filled portapools with very many good-natured penguin-loving souls.
