The Curious Cousins and the African Elephant Expedition is a children's picture story that follows three cousins, Emilia Rose, Isla Mae and Audrey Jane, who use their dream lives to see for themselves if it's true that African Elephants are afraid of ants. The Curious Cousins know that as brave heroes they can go just about anywhere outdoors, and as truth-seekers can choose to be just about anything. In this magical adventure, they get help from the local South African community - a friendly fever tree, wised-up weaver birds, ambulatory ants, a scruffy secretary bird, a brawny dung beetle, a speedy shongololo, a cranky-legs spider, a dazzling dragonfly, and learn about the intuitive meaning of Ubuntu - I am who I am only because of who we are together.

"A delightful blend of information and imagination ... this charming picture book is a feast for the eyes and ears. It would make a great read-aloud or bedtime story ... for its target audience of three to eleven year-olds." 4/5 Kristine, Reedsy.

This story includes a little magic, some time travel, humour, and adventure. African creatures, plants, and culture. The audiobook includes some delightful animal sound effects and the Zulu 'heppy' birthday song.

"There is nothing I didn't like about this book. It was well-written and exceptionally edited. The author wrote an incredible story, and the designs and paintings are perfect for a child with an inquisitive mind." 5/5 Eunice, OnLineBookClub.
