In South Africa, though, Robson is best known as a writer for children and teens, books primarily written in Botswana where she has lived most of her life. Her books have been read in schools in South Africa for many years. Among her many published books is a little book that is making big waves overseas titled Balaclava Boy.
Balaclava Boy is about a new boy who has agreed to go to school but only if he can wear a balaclava the entire time. The teacher allows it, but the other children are intrigued about why this boy feels the need to cover his face. Eventually the kids get used to the balaclava and become friends with the boy. The secret about the balaclava is revealed at the end along with some lessons about tolerance and friendship.
