About this ebook

Prejudice, discrimination, racism are all ills we face in the world since time immemorial, based in perceptions of biological and social differences between peoples and places. This book aims to take on a subject matter that we all struggle with, a subject matter normally intended for teens and adults. Breaking it down so even the smallest amongst us, the children, can and will understand. It is the simple concept of growing up the future generation, shaping them for a better tomorrow. If we want them to be oranges, mangoes, etc., then we plant (instill) in them the properties to grow as such. If we want them to follow the straight and narrow or go the way of the crooked path, then we shape them accordingly. As adults, we may not be beyond redemption, but we are set in our ways, bearing the fruits of our trees, too stiff to bend or we will break. Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not depart from it. A big change is needed, and a big change is hard to accomplish, but we can start by reading this book.

About the author

Born in April of 1969 in Kingston, Jamaica, Horace S. Mallette has been writing songs and poems since primary school for his friends and for personal use. A few of his poems have been published in the local newspaper the Sunday Gleaner under the moniker Kevin Garfield Brown (KGB), an alias he created while going to high school because of a fascination with world politics at the time. It is an interest he still holds. Horace, who has two teenage daughters, is trained in accounting and spent most of his work life in the local shipping industry. He enjoys spending time with his kids, gardening, and writing. As an author, he appreciates all genres of literature, and in this, his debut children's book, he is writing in one of his favorites.
