Scarlet’s Fund has contributed to this exciting new publication and our friends at BOCEP posted this on their FaceBook page:

It is with great excitement that we announce the upcoming release of our second book titled ‘In My Kingdom’, which follows on from ‘Donkeys Can’t Fly On Planes’.’In My Kingdom’, is a collection of stories told with clarity and integrity, as viewed from the frontline. The tales encompass the trials and tribulations of contemporary Africa: the famines and poverty, the impact of war, the pain of loss and displacement. They include accounts of epic treks to a new life, and of years endured in refugee camps. Yet in its colour and scope, and its vibrant presentation, it is infused with a sense of hope and celebration.
There are tales of loyalty, hard work, and tales that evoke the enticing waters of the Nile River, stories of transformation and adaptation to new lives, and of profound ‘nostalgia’: literally, the pain of longing for the return.We thank the amazing team at Kids’ Own Publishing who continue to empower children, families and communities from diverse cultural, social and linguistic backgrounds to share their stories. Victoria, Anna, Ailsa, Sarah, Sara and team you are all wonderful!Books should be available for sale in the next couple of weeks and at $20 would make a great Christmas gift.
