Book excerpt: When Martine’s home in England burns down, killing her parents, she must go to South Africa to live on a wildlife game preserve, called Sawubona, with the grandmother she didn’t know she had. Almost as soon as she arrives, Martine hears stories about a white giraffe living in the preserve. But her grandmother and others working at Sawubona insist that the giraffe is just a myth. Martine is not so sure, until one stormy night when she looks out her window and locks eyes with Jemmy, a young silvery-white giraffe. Why is everyone keeping Jemmy’s existence a secret? Does it have anything to do with the rash of poaching going on at Sawubona? Martine needs all of the courage and smarts she has, not to mention a little African magic, to find out. First-time children’s author Lauren St. John brings us deep into the African world, where myths become reality and a young girl with a healing gift has the power to save her home and her one true friend.

Download or read book The Elephants in My Backyard written by Rajiv Surendra and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rajiv Surendra was filming Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman insisted he read Yann Martel's Life of Pi. So begins his "lovely and human" (Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy) tale of obsessively pursuing a dream, overcoming failure, and finding meaning in life. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I found myself standing dangerously close to the edge of a cliff. Far below me was an incredible abyss with no end in sight. I could turn back and safely return to where I had come from, or I could throw caution to the wind, lift my arms up into the air . . . and jump.” —From The Elephants in My Backyard What happens when you spend ten years obsessively pursuing a dream, and then, in the blink of an eye, you learn that you have failed, that the dream will not come true? In 2003, Rajiv Surendra was filming Mean Girls, playing the beloved rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor, when a cameraman insisted he read Yann Martel’s Life of Pi. Mesmerized by all the similarities between Pi and himself—both are five-foot-five with coffee-colored complexions, both share a South Indian culture, both lived by a zoo—when Rajiv learns that Life of Pi will be made into a major motion picture he is convinced that playing the title role is his destiny. In a great leap of faith Rajiv embarks on a quest to embody the sixteen-year-old Tamil schoolboy. He quits university and buys a one-way ticket from Toronto to South India. He visits the sacred stone temples of Pondicherry, he travels to the frigid waters off the coast of rural Maine, and explores the cobbled streets of Munich. He befriends Yann Martel, a priest, a castaway, an eccentric old woman, and a pack of Tamil schoolboys. He learns how to swim, to spin wool, to keep bees, and to look a tiger in the eye. All the while he is really learning how to dream big, to fail, to survive, to love, and to become who he truly is. Rajiv Surendra captures the uncertainty, heartache, and joy of finding ones place in the world with sly humor and refreshing honesty. The Elephants in My Backyard is not a journey of goals and victories, but a story of process and determination. It is a spellbinding and profound book for anyone who has ever failed at something and had to find a new path through life.

Download or read book The Watering Hole written by Gregg Oginz and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Upon A Time... At an impromptu watering hole two elephants said "hello" for the very first time. They were from far and distant herds. Unbeknownst, each had been influenced upon a path. Those paths led two elephants across the African plain, on way to... The Watering Hole. ~ This is their story ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ At an impromptu watering hole Haṃsa bestowed its gift. It was the gift of circumstance, divine intervention that led Fire and Water to their first 'hello'. Two migrations tempted from the furthest positions. And with Svādhiṣṭhāna and Maṇipūra in balance, two elephants were affected upon a common path. Prāṇa kept them on it. Over the seasons that followed the elephants meandered upon a common path. They learned of one another and along the way, themselves. "One was small, a cow, with courage exceeding her stature and a soul beyond her seasons... She was Fire..." "The other big, a bull, scarred by the distance traveled, showed in his greying hairs... He was Water..." "The place to where she rose up and he came down is where they met... the middle..." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Watering Hole is a metaphorical tale of friendship and spirituality. Two elephants from different migrations formed an unexpected bond. The story follows their fledgling friendship and the various phases through which it went. Subtle undertones of Buddhism help explain their respective nature and the influence Haṃsa and Prāṇa, had upon them. With the African plain as the backdrop, their paths are revealed. It's a lesson of "Life's Migration". A perspective on how the phase in which we find ourselves, affects who we are, the relationships we form and who we'll evolve to be. And though we'd prefer to believe that control is ours, there are whimsical forces at play. Call it Energy, The Universe, Prāṇa or something else, a greater power binds us all. The influence of this force sways us without detection into the choreographed dance of all things. Enjoy your time at the Watering Hole.
