- "This book contains twelve original lithographs, drawn on ball-grained aluminium plates by Dorah Ngomane, Aletah Masuku, and Alsetah Manthosi.

The text was hand-printed from polymer blocks on a Vandercook letterpress proof-press. Book design and layout by the Artists' Press. Hand written text by Ella Topham, aged five.
