Throughout my life I have had a passion for wildlife conservation and a love of the outdoors. I have a very close bond with my dogs and particularly love to see them behaving as nature intended, interacting with each other and enjoying as much freedom as the modern human world will allow. I became a storyteller to keep my young relatives entertained, especially my grandchildren. It also allowed me to return to an early potential career as an illustrator. Naturally I based these stories around dogs and other animals who become the real heroes of the stories.
Zara, a lively young girl, and her equally energetic brother Rafi both love the outdoors and the wildlife around their parents' farm. So for her 4th birthday treat, she asks her mum and dad for a camping trip. All five of the family set up camp in one of the family farm fields
