The bok who lost his spring
The bok who lost his spring
When a springbok loses his spring, he tries everything to get it back. As he’s about to give up, he wonders if he really needs his spring, or if there are other – maybe even better – ways of being a springbok.

About Marleen
Marleen Lammers is a writer with a huge passion for children’s literature. She is a bit of an accidental nomad; she grew up in the Netherlands, but has been doing the expat thing for almost twenty years.
She spent most of that time in various countries in Southern Africa, working with nonprofits, and co-founding a couple of travel companies. She now travels between South Africa, the UK and Cyprus with her partner and two sons, and mostly tries to avoid cold weather. She’s happiest when writing fun children’s stories, preferably in the sun, preferably barefoot.
