What a fantastic read. I can highly recommend this children’s book to all boys and girls. A great story with an awesome moral especially in the times we are living in today where there is far too much pollution, Lindsay describes the characters so very well and the surroundings that immediately you have a beautiful picture in your mind of exactly what they and their surroundings look like. The author has the knack of adding in a little bit of humor at times but with the serious moral outcome. We see a love of nature and the beautiful Australian surroundings through the author’s eyes and an ability to show the importance of true family values. Thank you so much for this great read and I am so looking forward to Valeskia Maleskia and Friends next adventure in the basin!

I loved this story so much! I loved Philamon and his Gogo and all the family and I loved the description of Philamon helping the hungry children and the baby elephant.
The story Philamon and his Pot of Pap was so alive, I could hear the Sangoma chanting and feel the fatigue of Philamon's journey. The book is full of adventure and excitement and I was totally engrossed in the story, fearful when he was in the river, worried when he overslept and delighted when he had a belly full of pap! An easy story to get totally absorbed in!! I would certainly love to read more stories on Philamon and His Pot of Pap.

A great read. A blend of true life experiences and fantasy. Lessons can be learnt whereby bullies can create bullies but through acts of love and kindness this vicious cycle can be broken.

“Imagine a secret place. The kind of place you can go to and forget about your worries. An underwater magical place!” In this gentle book, delightful sea creatures are central to the theme of responsibility and compassion for our world. Lindsay Payne has created a setting, cleverly linked to the title, where she nourishes children’s imaginations, and cultivates a realisation at their level of the need for caring for our environment, without the usual clichés. The vivid descriptions transport the reader through this marvellous story accompanied by illustrations that match it’s warmth.
