Gone For A Walk
In the year 1999, on Christmas Eve, two extraordinary kids from different backgrounds meet in Malawi, the Warm Heart of Africa. Kondwani, a courageous 13-year-old, carries the burden of loss in a nation grappling with the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS. Sue, an inquisitive 11-year-old from New Zealand, delights in eating mangoes and observing monkeys.
The primary theme revolves around HIV and AIDS, which inflicted significant loss of life in Africa and led to a surge in orphaned children and other social challenges. It is a compelling narrative that delves into the themes of resilience, hope, and empathy.
Gone For A Walk aims to inspire readers of all ages to understand the importance of empathy, embrace diverse cultures, and appreciate the courage needed to confront uncomfortable truths. While the book primarily targets readers aged eight to fourteen, it can also appeal to all ages, ensuring everyone benefits from its powerful message.
This book is more than fiction; it is also education-focused. At the end, it includes activities to enhance story comprehension and promote English language skills for both Western and African children. Therefore, parents and teachers may recommend it to youngsters.

I am a Malawian author passionate about children's storytelling, operating under my personal brand, Tales of Little Heroes. I am committed to improving the lives of children and teenagers, mainly in southern Africa. While I've shown myself to be an excellent project manager throughout my career, my natural talent for storytelling truly sets me apart. I write children's fiction with a strong eye for detail and a talent for capturing the spirit of childhood. I work to inspire young people and feed their aspirations. I want to empower and encourage the next generation through stories and entertainment. I use my storytelling talents to highlight significant social issues affecting children and young people, mainly in southern Africa.
I work to build a society where storytelling and purpose coexist and the dreams of little heroes are given a voice, one story at a time.
