To a background of music from the song titles in the new Climax Collection<\/strong> book (songs windmills might be singing when they think we aren\u2019t listening) we shared some of the rapid rise, from a simple idea, to the first book, Koos (Max\u2019s eccentric 4×4) joining the family and giving rise to his own series of books, to the new online store and e-books. We also introduced the growing \u201cEl Gecko family\u201d in the form of Karen Vollaire, who built the online store, Mignonne van Heerden, who translated Travels troubles with Koos and Max\u2019s new children\u2019s book (Santa\u2019s New Helpers) into Afrikaans, and Theresa Hardman, who is busy with delightful illustrations for that book\u2026. Great news is that, since the launch, Mpumi Buyana has joined \u2018the family\u2019, and is translating Santa\u2019s New Helpers into isiXhosa. Watch this space, we go to print in the next week or so! <\/p>
