Maatla The Magnet

Maatla the Magnet is a charming picture book about learning to belong, embracing who you are, and discovering the magic of true friendship. Maatla—whose name means “strength” in Setswana—is a little magnet with a big heart. But when the other magnets keep pushing him away, he begins to feel left out and unsure of where he belongs. He tries attracting different things—pins, coins, and other shiny bits—but nothing feels quite right. Just when Maatla is ready to give up, he meets Thata, a gentle magnet whose name means “love.” Through their joyful friendship, Maatla learns that being yourself is the most powerful way to attract the right people into your life. With vibrant illustrations and a gentle, empowering message, Maatla the Magnet is the perfect book for children learning about kindness, confidence, and connection. Ideal for classroom storytime, family reading, and social-emotional learning at home.
