This, Jessy Carlisle's premiere poetry book, includes the iconic "A Tree's Lament" (I Am a Tree), performed by the author at numerous events including the Queensland State Poetry Slam where its echoes caused several passers-by to come join the audience. This selection samples a few of the author's various styles, smoothly transitioning across a number of themes while almost every poem appears somehow related to those around it. This beautifully illustrated edition would make for fine display as a slim coffee table book or an excellent gift for that special someone.

This hilarious book aids children in grades 2 to 4 as they begin to explore the meaning of wisdom. Children initially laugh over some of the silly antics of a fool until he's prompted by a parrot to go on a search for wisdom. After much effort to no avail, he eventually meets someone who tells him how to find wisdom. But does instruction alone really make someone wise? Through simple language accompanied by entertaining illustrations, this book engages young minds while introducing them to a deep topic and a few less common words. It includes some suggested questions for educators to start conversations with at the end.

Aniket is an admiral in Caesar Nero''s navy, but he thinks all the rules make life boring. Thankfully, the Emperor needs someone to do his dirty work on the high seas! Together, they hatch a plan. But when Nero dies, what will Aniket do? This is a real life legend of a former slave turned pirate!

An action packed adventure book based on the true story of ancient Lazi man who would do whatever it took to survive. This book is especially appealing to boys, although a few pages may raise some laughter while learning about history. After all, did you know Nero kept a pirate?

#526 in the Bilingual Legends series. This book is in both English and Laz (a South Caucasian language).

Of all the kings the world has ever known, none was ever so rich as Mansa Musa. But what else did the Lion of Mali do for his empire?

The Bambara language is spoken in Mali and several bordering countries, with the West African N'ko script being of greater popularity in the south of the country, as well as in Guinea and the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire).

This book aims to help Bambara speaking children learn the West African N'ko script. It does this by providing the text in N'ko along with the Latin script of Bambara, which is currently the only script taught at most schools in Mali.

Migrants can connect their children with their heritage by reading this book to them regardless of which script they understand best.

The additional material (e.g. questions) at the back of the book is provided in French because that was the official language of Mali until January 2022. Consequently, it could be of some use to teachers even if they themselves speak do not speak Bambara.

#343B in the Bilingual Legends series. This book is presented in Bambara, in both the Latin and N'ko scripts.
