When both of Thandi's parents die of AIDS, she goes to live with her Gogo. There, memories of Thandi's family are woven into a special doll named Nosipho that is made from the possessions of her parents: her mother's dress and beads and her father's jersey, which still holds the sweet smell of his pipe. Through Nosipho, Thandi is able to find comfort and hope. Carefully tackling the subject of AIDS, this engaging tale will offer solace to any child who has experienced the loss of a loved one.
