An interview with the author
Q……..
What was your inspiration for this 4th children’s short storybook?
A……
Kassuku was our real family parrot, so the story of his life was in my head already.
My memories of him are magical. He really was a delightful African Grey, born in the Ugandan jungle.
The facts about his life are true: his telling of African legends around a fire pit is, of course, part of Tales From Over The Moon!

Is there a message in the story?
A…..
I think Kassuku was happy in his domesticated life.
But his true purpose, I cannot help but feel was to remain in the wild where he was born and where he could fly freely amongst fellow parrots.
Having said that, had he stayed in the jungle, we would never have had the pleasure of his company!
I think the message is to be happy wherever you find yourself and I believe it is from that happy emotion that you make your best decisions.
