  A beating heart. A talking tree. The rain forest. Love. Mysticism. Harvest. And above all, chocolate.Dear Coco and Leo,I miss you! We all miss you! The whole forest misses you! I hear their thanks and wishes in my dreams. I hope you do, too. Prepare for a journey into a world filled with what so many crave -- the sweet savoring of a chocolate drop. A drop that can melt even the most troubled realities. But in this nuanced, heartrending story, before good can emerge, there is destruction, the bombarding of a people, their culture, heritage, sacred beliefs, and the very soul that drives their traditions. This urgent, beautiful novel takes readers into the ugly realities that surround the destruction of the Amazon rain forest and its people. Acclaimed author Laura Resau shows us that love is more powerful than hatred, and that by working together, hope can be magically restored, root and branch.

  Zanzibar Tales

  If you have read any accounts of adventure in Africa, you will know that travelers never mention animals of any kind that are gifted with the faculty of speech, or gazelles that are overseers for native princes, or hares that eat flesh. No, indeed; only the native-born know of these; and, judging by the immense and rapid strides civilization is making in those parts, it will not be long before such wonderful specimens of zoölogy will be as extinct as the ichthyosaurus, dinornis, and other poor creatures who never dreamed of the awful names that would be applied to them when they were too long dead to show their resentment. As to the truth of these tales, I can only say that they were told to me, in Zanzibar, by negroes whose ancestors told them to them, who had received them from their ancestors, and so back; so that the praise for their accuracy, or the blame for their falsity, lies with the first ancestor who set them going. You may think uncivilized negroes are pretty ignorant people, but the white man who is supposed to have first told the story of “The House that Jack Built” was a mighty poor genius compared with the unknown originator of “Goso, the Teacher,” who found even inanimate things that were endowed with speech, which the pupils readily understood and were not astonished to hear; while “Puss in Boots” was not one-half so clever as the gazelle that ran things for Haamdaanee. It would be a severe task to rattle off “Goso” as you do “The House that Jack Built.” (Summary by the author)

  This book is the first in a series of 4 relatively short children's bedtime stories featuring Smarty Pants the Fox. Always getting himself out of tricky situations, Smarty is a cheeky, cool, adolescent fox living in a Secret Valley near Donnybrook, in the South West of Australia. With authentic sound effects for added interest and excitement, this book is narrated by the author. Smarty is so clever he can talk, stand, read, sing, play guitar, surf and even swim. In this book The Great Journey, Smarty finds some unusual round rocks under the roots of a tree which has been hit by lightning in a wild storm. Smarty wonders how the washed round rocks under the tree got to the top of a hill and, why was blue grass growing near the uprooted tree. Later, Smarty falls into a flooding creek where he is swept all the way to the Indian Ocean before finally climbing an anchor chain to board a ship which takes him to Africa. In this amazing adventure, the ship begins to sink in a violent storm and, as the captain and crew abandon the vessel, Smarty is washed overboard. Luckily, he finds a log to cling to, and is eventually washed up on an island. Here, Smarty meets the last surviving giant Dodo bird who happens to be eating blue grass. When Smarty discovers the secret of the blue grass, he hatches a plan to save the Dodo bird from loneliness. Late at night, the two of them sneak onto another ship going back to Australia, where the Dodo bird lives happily ever after in the Secret Valley with Smarty and all the other Australian animals.
