Imagine you are on safari in Africa and, unbeknown to you during a
magical eclipse in the Zambezi Valley, Panashe, an orphaned son of
Africa, and Birrie the Kid goat, are born. Due to circumstances
beyond her control, Grandmother-of-all-Grandmothers has a secret
that she must live with for the remainder of her days. Her brother,
rich Uncle Amos, must never know. If he ever discovers that
Panashe, his orphaned nephew and Birrie the Kid, face endless
adventures together, Birrie will end up in the cooking pot and
Panashe will never stop crying himself to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the school holidays do not work out as planned
because the rains have arrived. Uncle Amos now wants Panashe to
work for him. In trying to avoid his duties, Panashe's master plan
backfires and Birrie the Kid swallows Uncle Amos' precious glass
eye. Unless he coughs it up immediately, his future is definitely
in the cooking pot as delicious goat stew The two friends are
devastated.
This illustrated fantasy story is for children possibly as young
as 10 years old upwards. If the reader curiously needs to consult a
dictionary, when I have achieved my goal, i.e. encouraging young
readers to learn new words. In alphabetical order it embraces
Africa, the basics of business in the food chain, conservation,
first aid, geography, good manners, humour, loyalty in family and
friendship, new words, proverbs, tourism but above all it embraces
fantasy.
P.S. When reading it to your children, remember to slip a brown
glass marble into your mouth just before Grandmother falls off her
metal bucket. Then, when Birrie the Kid coughs it up, voila Watch
their faces when that brown eye hurtles across the room It is the
mostfun you will ever have reading to your avid listeners, but be
prepared to explain many things in between...
A percentage of sales will be donated to the orphans of the
Zambezi Valley.
