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…
