On his local & global travels young boy Sam Widges encounters
many interesting characters including a flan fan old man & his
monkey mate on a itchy desert island, mice on the moon hiding
beneath a big chunk of Chinese cheese, a jazzy jungle buzzing with
musical bees, a super windy sideways city that was so breezey all
the buildings got built at funny angles by mistake! Friendly french
folk growing floating fish on an organic farm in a forest, the
clever cloud people that live in the skies above a faraway city
giving sage advice to all that visit them, all the money in the
world hidden in a dusty bank-vault, hypnotic bingle wingle things
in a manic market in the tropics, joyous misty mountain dancing
circles in Ireland with the fairie folk of the emerald hills, Santa
Cruz soul surfing beside gardens heaving with hummingbirds &
exotic flowers, mysterious performers parading by a Fuji mountain
river walk in Japan & didgeridoo dancing outback aboriginals
amongst others. Highly detailed illustrations lead us to discover
with Sam Widges what he has always been searching for all this time
when he has travelled all around the world seeking his mysterious
goal. The red world map at the beginning of the book works like a
puzzle for readers to try to guess which page relates to which
stopover point in the book on his long distance travel to many
different continents of this planet & give young readers an
insight into our big planet. His adventure guides the reader to
find the inner values of life thatmean more to us than all the
shiny sparkly attractions of the outside world & its 10,000
hypnotic things. This meditative approach is designed to leave
story readers in a peaceful tranquil state of mind ready for a good
dream just before bedtime or to feel like they have travelled the
world without ever leaving their arm chair. He achieves his gentle
realisation at last after much soul searching in the same gentle
manner a white feather of peace makes contact with a pool of
crystal clear water landing in a slow motion soft bounce...

plotting to raid Queen Neith's tomb, they set off on a quest to

marketplace to a confusing maze across the River Nile. Will they
get there in time to stop the robbers unleashing a terrible curse?
And who was behind the evil plot all along? With breathtaking

Imbokodo: Women Who Shape Us is a groundbreaking series of books
which introduces you to the powerful stories of South African women
who have all made their mark and cleared a path for women and
girls. These books recognise, acknowledge and honour our heroines
and elders from the past and the present. South African women are
silent no more on the roles that we have played in advancing our
lives as artists, storytellers, writers, politicians and
educationists. The title 'Imbokodo' was been chosen as it is a Zulu
word that means "rock" and is often used in the saying 'Wathint'
Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!', which means "You Strike a Women, You
Strike a Rock!" These books were made possible with the support of
Biblionef and funding from the National Arts Council. In 10 Curious
Inventors, Healers & Creators you will read about the women who
shape our world through education, science and maths. You will read
about women who became teachers, nurses, social workers, scientists
and community workers, overcame obstacles and through their work
fought for social change.
