thoughtleader.co.za WWW viewed November 22, 2019: Koos Kombuis ("What's in a name?" Shakespeare asked in his day. You may find Koos Kombuis, also known as Joe Kitchen, pondering this question. This versatile artist is causing quite a stir, this time as a bilingual writer of children's books who, at the same time, introduces another nom de plume, Joe Kitchen. It was such a straightforward and obvious solution. "The penny finally dropped when my children's favourite teacher, Rob Moll (to whom the new books are dedicated) at Somerset West Private School, introduced me one evening at a school function as 'Jacob Kitchen'. From there it transformed to 'Jack Kitchen', but then I realised there is such a guy in America, and I didn't want to intrude on his space, so eventually I became 'Joe Kitchen'." The books, titled Hubert the Useless Unicorn and Eben die Ellendige Eenhoring, are published by Naledi. These children's books are cheerfully illustrated by Koos)
