FIRST WE NEED THE LOVE

In a unique audio and video release featuring another trademark song, Who I am! The album, released in June 2010 received positive reviews worldwide. Zain’s motivation for the song was in celebration of South Africa’s multi-cultural society and, as an Islamic artist, to lend support to the country’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In his own words, “in the littlest or grandest of ways, you can change the world, you can make it better!”

When five siblings – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother, the Lamb – discover a sand-fairy in their gravel pit, they are jolly surprised and a little delighted. Even better, the Psammead is able to grant them wishes, although the magic wears off at the day’s end. Unfortunately, all of the wishes the children make go hilariously wrong and they soon learn that their foolish desires are more likely to get them into trouble than get them what they want!
‘I wasn’t usually very keen on fantasy, but Five Children and It was different: it was funny but somehow still true to life. I reread it as a special comfort book whenever I was ill or hunhappy.’ – Jacqueline Wilson
‘I love E.Nesbit – I think she is great and I identify with the way that she writes. Her children are very real .’ – J.K. Rowling
‘She speaks to the reader, and it’s almost as if you couldhear her voice.’ – Quentin Blake
