About this ebook
A melting pot... Indeed it is! Join the individual journeys of some very different animal characters as they melt together in this book with one purpose; to bring about positive change in the lives of children through their adventurous stories.
This book is an ideal tool for parents and teachers of young children to bring across invaluable lessons in character building and values. Share some intimate moments with the children you love as you read these exciting stories together.
The whole writing and illustration of this book was a true family effort, which in itself encapsulates the essence of the aim for which the stories have been written.

I would like to thank my mother Bernadette and two of my sisters, Jeané and Ronél, for giving the characters in this book faces and making them visually alive.
The approval and encouragement of my nephews, Josua and Mattias, and nieces, Kina and Mizé, throughout made the whole writing and illustrating process an enjoyable experience.
Great honour goes to my parents, John and Bernadette Roux, for loving me and doing an excellent job in raising me and my siblings with a solid foundation of values.
A huge thank you filled with love forever and always goes to my husband, Jean-Pierre, for his unconditional love and support as well as choosing the apt title of this book. And to my two children, Kristen and William, who give me inspiration through the joy they bring and the great love I have for them.
