Under a Himalayan Sky: A Story of Love, Loss and Learning to Live
Jane's precious baby is struggling under the burden of NHS 'treatment', so she takes him to a remote part of Nepal where her husband is working and where the local people see a beautiful blonde, happy baby who is there to be loved, like all new babies. This unexpectedly different culture and different way of perceiving disability, brings sunshine and laughter into David's short life and enables the whole family to share with him, simple joy and positive happiness.

How to Shit Around the World
Ook als je niet van plan bent om een reis door de tropen te maken is het een boek dat je in een keer uit leest, omdat je in een hele andere wereld terecht komt. Zeer de moeite waard! Het boek schrikt niet af, maar maakt juist nieuwsgierig naar verre landen.

16 year old Alex and his 12 year old brother James are asked to take a mysterious package to their parents, who are engaged in animal research in the Nepalese jungle. They soon become involved in a dangerous journey involving betrayal, wild animals, avalanches, deep and dark caves and kidnap by Maoist insurgents, as well as help from many Nepalis, including their young friend Atti. The story moves rapidly from one incident and escape to another, and is sure to hold the interest of young readers. Throughout the book Jane’s knowledge and love of Nepal, its people, its geography and its wildlife shine through the narrative, skilfully making it as informative as it is entertaining. The book includes a glossary of Nepali terms used in the text, as well as delightful illustrations by Betty Levene of many of the creatures encountered by Alex and James during their adventure. Young readers given this book, whether in print format or as an ebook will devour it and will eagerly await the next of Alex and James’s adventures.
