Warren Ackhurst
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Warren was exposed early on to the indigenous respect for animals and tradition of storytelling. These became passions that influenced his Montessori teaching and tale-writing. He believes reading together is an important aspect of bonding as well as being educational. Warren hopes that these stories will enrich the lives of his readers and bring awareness to the protection that is necessary to save these African animals.
He currently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada with his wife and their Rhodesian Ridgeback dog.

Janice Lazzarich
Janice was born and raised in Africa. She has lived in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia. She now lives in England with her son and husband. When asked about what she missed most about Africa she says without hesitation, “The sun and the animals!”
She has an affinity with animals, especially those of the African bush. They represent all that is still wild in the world. By managing these magnificent animals we have learned many valuable lessons about conserving our planet’s resources. Hopefully these pictures will inspire young readers to look more closely at all our wildlife around us and encourage them to become aware of conservation efforts in their own communities.
Through paintings in this book Janice has journeyed back to Africa.
We hope you enjoy the journey as much as she has!
