  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.

  What do you do when you don't know what to do? 
  How do you get up when you feel your body is heavy and down? 
  How do you face life when everything seems to be going wrong? 
  "Finding my own Lion" is an inspiring book created from real-life stories of people who have faced various problems and overcome them with courage and determination, making it the perfect gift for anyone going through a difficult time in life. 
  It was written with the purpose of providing relief to life's big problems and comforting people's hearts from the inside fire. 
  We all have a voice, a motive, a powerful reason that lifts us up day after day, but many times that fire also gets tired and goes out overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and depression. 
  The lack of motivation can be more detrimental than the illness itself. It can knock anyone down and results in low performance, physical illness, mental illness, and frustration. 
  Have you ever heard the story of the phoenix bird that rises from its ashes? 
  This book will teach you that same ability: 
  . Mental strength 
  . Motivation 
  . Courage 
  Developing a positive and powerful mindset is the first step towards transformation to overcome any obstacle, which through mirror learning from the shared stories in the book will be assimilated and replicated in your own life. 
  Keeping our motivation levels high will be the fuel for our soul. It will be the voice that always lifts you up in adversity and allows you to maintain a fireproof mindset. 
  "Finding my own Lion" is an encouraging book that will show you that there are no limits or barriers, and that the greatest strength we have is our own mind, which combined with a purpose makes us completely invincible. It will help you turn any critical moment into an opportunity for success. 
  This audiobook can be enjoyed by children, teenagers and adults equally, and is perfect for listening at any time of the day.

  The Story of Little Boy Blue -...

  "Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, 
  The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn; 
  Where's the little boy that minds the sheep? 
  He's under the haystack, fast asleep!" 
  So what is this all about? Why is he asleep? Is he just lazy or is there a good reason for this? That wonderful storyteller Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, tells us the delightful story behind this little rhyme and we all will feel much better knowing that the little boy had excellent reasons to be asleep that morning. Listen and enjoy the whole nifty story. Many of our most loved nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.
