BK Publishing is pleased to announce the planned publication of the book Archive of Kindness by Dr Jess Auerbach during the hight of the Covid-19 lockdown. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to charity. Recognising that this collection now provides an important added perspective to the significant hardship and suffering of the past twelve-month period, a selection of stories from the Archive of Kindness have now been chosen by ten prominent South Africans. The book will be produced to the highest standard, becoming an important record of the pandemic and enabling further national reflection on the most positive aspects of South African society. Jess Auerbach teaches at North-West University. She’s from Durban, spent ten years in Angola, Brazil, Mauritius, the UK and USA, and then came home to South Africa just before the pandemic.

Mimi Marsh’s life is about to take an astronomical leap, when she and her family leave planet Earth in a spaceship bound for Mars. Ahead of them is life in a domed city, where they can live protected from the extreme Martian climate. Outside the city where carbon dioxide fills the air and the temperature plunges well below freezing, the dress code is strictly space suits, breathing units and gravity boots.

This series features a collection of short stories, comics and a poem by fun-loving South African authors. It is written in a style and on a language level which is appropriate for second language readers and is beautifully illustrated to help with the transition from picture books to more text-heavy books.
