  Tsuro is a fictional character, in this children’s book. He is a clever rock rabbit found in a region called Manicaland, what is part of present-day Zimbabwe. Tsuro is a rock rabbit who goes through many adventures. The stories of Tsuro are loosely based on some of the Shona folk stories. Our grandmothers and grandfathers used to tell us folk stories about the wild animals in our region.  
  One of the main characters was the rabbit in these Shona folk stories one of Zimbabwe's local languages. In Shona, Tsuro means rabbit. I named some of my characters from Shona words. Growing up we would play a game and you would be asked to make up your own story from these characters mainly the rabbit, the monkey, the tortoise, the lion, the elephant, the zebra and all the wild animals. These stories would then be passed on from generation to generation.  
  The name Rock Rabbit comes from a place in Manicaland that I used to go hiking with my dad as a child. It was a mountainous area with a special breed of rabbits that moved so fast. They were pleasing to the eye, but these rabbits would hide under rocks when they saw humans. Through oral history, it is said that when the British settlers first came they named that area Rock Rabbit. The name, up until now has not been changed. 
  All copy rights observed. Some of the stories in this series are loosely based on some Shona folk stories. They belong to every person of the Shona language with different versions from different regions. Our grandmothers and grandfathers used to tell us folk stories about the clever rabbit. However some of the stories in the series were made up, by the author from scratch. 
  About the author. My name is Wadzanai Chiwereza. I was born in Zimbabwe. I have a Bachelor's degree in French, Theatre, and Cinema, from the prestigious French University Université de Grenoble Alpes.

  James P. Crow by Philip K. Dick - It was a robots' world, run by soul-less heaps of haughty metal. But among the humans there was one — only one — who aspired to greatness; only one who stood the chance of breaking out of his subservient shell. He was the Time-Window Kid. ... He was James P. Crow. 
  Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) was an American science fiction writer whose works explored themes of reality, identity, and the nature of consciousness. Known for his visionary storytelling, he penned over 40 novels and 120 short stories, including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for Blade Runner) and The Man in the High Castle. Dick’s blend of philosophical inquiry and futuristic settings has made him a cornerstone of speculative fiction, influencing countless films, writers, and thinkers. His work continues to challenge perceptions of what it means to be human.
