Yvonne Vera's novels chronicle the lives of Zimbabwean women with extraordinary power and beauty. Without a Name and Under the Tongue, her two earliest novels, are set in the seventies during the guerrilla war against the white government.

In Without a Name (1994), Mazvita, a young woman from the country, travels to Harare to escape the war and begin a new life. But her dreams of independence are short-lived. She begins a relationship of convenience and becomes pregnant.

In Under the Tongue (1996), the adolescent Zhizha has lost the will to speak. In lyrical fragments, Vera relates the story of Zhizha's parents, and the horrifying events that led to her mother's imprisonment and her father's death. With this novel Vera became the first Zimbabwean writer ever to deal frankly with incest. With these surprising, at times shocking novels Vera shows herself to be a writer of great potential.

Kid Friendly Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen – Vegan and FSA Eligible (2026)!
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz., Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
Kid friendly mineral sunscreen! I used this last year and repurchased it this year in the travel size for my toddler as she likes to apply sunscreen herself. The travel size is super easy and goes on well. Also does not make a huge mess when my toddler applies it herself. As you can see in the video, it doesn’t leave a very noticeable white cast, which is helpful when you have tan skin. Can easily reapply and not a hassle for a busy toddler. No sensitivity or rash after applying. It’s made for sensitive skin. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a good sunscreen for toddlers.

Best formula for Suntan Lotion.
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 5 oz.
I had this in regular formula and didn’t like it. The childrens one I love! Believe me, you need sunscreen, you’ll be glad you did as your sun loving girl friends wrinkle up and look older for not using it. It looks good on, not a white cast, not oily shining, or other awful things other sunlotion does. Doesn’t stink, actually makes your face look better as gives a better lighting to wrinkles (oddly, but woman have used mineral for generations for that very reason.) kids won’t skirm away, because it does sting.

Peace of Mind for Sun Protection
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars) Superior Sun Protection: Effective and Safe: The BLUE LIZARD Mineral Sunscreen Stick offers SPF 50+ protection, which is exactly what I look for in a sunscreen for my family. Its broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, powered by zinc oxide, provides peace of mind, knowing that my toddler is safe from the sun's harmful rays. Kid-Friendly Application: Hassle-Free and Convenient: As a parent, applying sunscreen on a toddler can be a challenge. This stick format changes the game. It glides on smoothly, making it incredibly easy to apply without any mess. My toddler doesn't fuss, and I can quickly ensure even coverage. Gentle and Safe Formula: Chemical-Free and Fragrance-Free: I'm cautious about the products I use on my child's skin. The BLUE LIZARD Sunscreen Stick being mineral-based and free from harmful chemicals is a huge plus. Its fragrance-free formula is gentle, causing no irritation or discomfort, which is a relief for sensitive skin. Water Resistance: Stays on Through Play: Whether it's pool time or sweaty outdoor activities, this sunscreen sticks around. Its water-resistant formula gives me confidence that my toddler is protected, even during water play. Worth the Investment: Quality Over Cost: While the price point is a bit higher than some other sunscreens, the quality and effectiveness of this product make it worth the investment. Knowing that I'm using a safe, chemical-free sunscreen that's easy to apply on my toddler justifies the cost for me. Compact and Travel-Friendly: Perfect for On-the-Go: The 0.5 oz size is perfect for tucking into a purse or diaper bag. It's great for reapplications on the go, making it a must-have item in our family's sun protection kit. Conclusion: Highly Recommend for Families: The BLUE LIZARD Mineral Sunscreen Stick is a top-notch choice for parents seeking a safe, effective, and easy-to-apply sun protection solution for their children. Its chemical-free formula, high SPF, and convenient application make it a standout product. I highly recommend it to other parents who prioritize sun safety and convenience.

WORKS. Goes on well
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Set name: Stick - 0.5 oz.
I bought this in the face stick, the regular cream, and the lip spf stick (ONLY one I could find without all the poison stuff in it). I am loving this brand! Not super white (it has to be somewhat if you want it to work without all the chemicals in it) and stays well. My kids didn’t burn at all with this on our recent trip to the beach and pool. It’s worth it.
