Whilst on my travels around the world, my friends and I spent a month in Thailand, after awhile we would escape the hot monsoon climate by watching a movie in an air conditioned lounge.

One of the films we saw, was the Shawshank Redemption. Although this movie is unsuitable for children, I saw the hope quote was written by Stephen King, another author and I decided to write a Hope book for children. This book idea led to me thinking; who depicted hope? It was Nelson Mandela for me who led South Africa and the world in a civil rights movement.

There is a quiz later here for you to understand more about the greatest leaders, there ever were. As you can see in the picture above, the actor, Morgan Freeman also played Nelson Mandela in the film Invictus, this was another reason I linked hope to South Africa, I trust the children will learn more about the leaders of our world whilst reading my Twin Rabbits Go Avian book and here is a quiz for you too; AVIAN LEADER BOOK QUIZ…

The Story behind Twin Rabbits Go Farming series
by Thérèse Wood
Keeper of the Magic Key 
& Secrets to Twin Rabbit Power

Farming is big business and in business terms, the acronym G.R.O.W. Means
G= Goal – what are you trying to achieve? purpose?
R= Reality – What are you doing now? current purpose?
O= Opportunities – What other options are there?
W= Way forward – Where & how do we go from here to achieve this purpose?

Farming is all about Growth and growing planted seeds. I used to work for a global company whose main clientele were farmers. In my “Twin Rabbits Go Farming” series my Twin Rabbits grow up through this process of farming and here is a poem I wrote about growth….

Cultivate your plants
watch your vegetables sprout
Learn how to farm
Till the crops throughout

Grow your seeds
& yourselves too
Remove all the weeds
Ready for your vegetable stew

Harvest the produce daily
Please remember to develop
with water & sunlight obviously
‘Til you harvest the perfect crop!

Twin rabbits mature throughout this book series and enjoy an amazing Christmas dinner at the end as a reward for all their annual efforts.
