Kasuba's Inner Safari Quest: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Overcoming Your Fears by Being True to Yourself

Description

Kasuba's Inner Safari Quest is told using a safari as an analogy for how we navigate through life. It may not come in the same form as Kasuba's, but the story line usually goes something like this. You face a challenge or a major change in your life; a move to a new town, new school, or even a new grade, you need to start over, but you don't know how to, or you simply don't want to. You either reject it or embrace it, but one way or the other you have to learn how to evolve and create a new normal for yourself. Challenges are not reserved for adults; we face obstacles and fears even as young children. The answer, as you will learn from Kasuba's journey, is that by embracing life's changes and trusting your inner voice, you will rediscover your true self. When you realise that being yourself is all that really matters, you will come to the universal truth, that it's cool to be you

Set in the Luangwa Valley the central character Kasuba (sun) learns to look at life through a different perspective when she befriends a group of animals in the valley. They teach her about how they live with, and respect nature. Through them she learns that mother nature is always showing us what to do, proving for us, sometimes we can sit back and let things unfold, but at other times we must participate in the unfoldment of things.

The safari story is used as a self-help novel, as well as a tool to educate children about game management areas, endangered species like the rhinoceros and the evils of poaching. The word "Safari" conjures up so many great images for kids: vacation, animals, adventure, and maybe a slight bit of danger because they might be exploring something unknown. This self-help novel guides them through their everyday challenges, while engaging them with a fun and entertaining read. It's relevant to modern times as it shows the main character dealing with the home schooling that many kids are struggling with today. Kids will be able to relate to Kasuba on a powerful level.

This book can be read by kids independently, but it also lends itself well to discussion, therefore being a great acquisition for any school, parent or educator. This book can be used to help children struggling with issues around change and belief in themselves, helping them find their place in the world.
