Dr Quinta – författare

Quinta was plodding through a successful but mundane career when she was relieved of her job. She took her newfound freedom and endless time as an opportunity to reinvent herself and rediscover joy in life. She packed her bags and embarked on a solo trip around the world. For three and a half months, she traveled to twenty three countries and all seven continents.

With color pictures from each location, From Antarctica to Zimbabwe is the story of Quinta’s adventures as she made her way around the world. From camping in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, to walking cheetahs in Zambia, to surviving her ship hitting an iceberg in Antarctica, her experiences made her come alive and believe in herself again. This is a story of self-discovery and finding the courage to live the life we really want to.

The Hare and Baboon and other Stories is a collection of 7 fables from 7 different countries on the African continent: Nigeria, Togo, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, Cameroon, and Cote d''Ivoire. 

These tales are filled with the warmth of Africa and offer a glimpse into the cultures they are set in. They are filled with talking animals and adventurous quests. They generally include morals that teach us to be better people. Among other things, the stories explain how the tortoise''s shell became cracked, and how fire came to earth. Each story is accompanied by an original illustration painted by the artist Thamba Tabvuma.
