 | Niki Daly Niki Daly is a South African author-illustrator whose picture books celebrate the imaginative powers of children and their magnificent everyday lives. Notable about his style are his abilities to view the world from a child's perspective and to see the world in a rainbow of shades, reflective of multicultural modern South Africa . Indeed, many of Daly's solo efforts, as well as his illustrations for other authors, represent strongly African themes. In books such as Not So Fast, Songololo, Why the Sun and Moon Live in the Sky, The Boy on the Beach , and Jamela's Dress , Daly looks at the day-to-day interactions of the myths that shape black South African reality. As a writer, editor, and provider of art workshops, Daly has furthered the creation of a body of South African children's literature inclusive of all races and ethnic groups. |
