About the Book
Ten-year-old Coleman has always had plenty of imagination. In The Great Safari Adventure, he dreams that if he only has belief and faith, magical things can happen. His tale begins as he is separated from his family and friends in the jungle, making him face his greatest fear: being alone.
The little boy enters an exciting world where an ancient and powerful “Blue Lulu” stone can turn ordinary ants and wild animals into human-like creatures. In the midst of a rainforest, desert prairies and the croc swamp, Coleman experiences untold adventure in his dream.
With his newfound animal friends, he learns about confidence, strength, patience, and courage. The Great Safari Adventure also teaches Coleman about the value of friendship and trust, which will carry him through many adventures in life.
The author hopes to motivate kids to be active and learn the world around them through exploration and physical activity.
