About the Author

Trudi Franke was born into a large family and grew up holidaying in the African bush. The lessons she learnt from nature had a strong impact on her own parenting skills. Today, as she raises her children and teaches them life lessons and how to find a healthy approach to the issues they face, her best reference is the African bush, a place where life is brought down to its very essence and what matters most – caring, sharing, friendship, forgiveness and understanding – is placed clearly in perspective.
