A cultural book, which tells the story about the relationship between two best friends in a struggle for survival in the forest, written in both English and Portuguese
About the Book:
The Hunger in the Forest series of books represents a culture and way of life that children may not be familiar with. This first story on the series, Fuuuurrrrr n’bum, teaches important life lessons to children whilst telling them that life is not all roses and a happy ending, but if you learn certain things like ‘listening & following instructions’, then you’ll do great in life.
About the Author:
Rosa Brandao is of African descent. Being an African is one of the richest benefits as a black woman in society. This gave Rosa the best childhood she could ever imagine. Her imagination as a child has empowered her to create this magical world that she is so eager to share with everyone and especially with her son; the inspiration that made it all possible.

Excellent children’s story from African cultural written in both English and Portuguese
31 May 2019 – Published on Amazon.co.uk
“I read this children’s book to my two children, and they loved it! There is a hunger in the forest, and the wolf, rabbit and others need to be creative and crafty in order to fill their bellies.
This story reminded me of the Grimm Brothers’ tales which are more realistic than Disney’s fairy tales in teaching important life lessons to children, painting a picture of the real world that can often be difficult and challenging, but if you listen properly, pay attention to detail, focus on what you want to achieve and reach for it, and so on, you’re likely to be more successful in navigating your way through life.
I also like the fact that this story clearly draws from Portuguese culture, as the author (Rosa) says that she was told this story when she was a child, and she wants to share it more widely as the book is cleverly written both in English and in Portuguese, and beautifully illustrated with rich, vibrant colours, reflecting the African cultural values and experiences which imbue this story.”

About the Book:
Designed to help everyone, from complete beginners to those who want to take their next steps in the world of investing and trading, this book can help you learn and more importantly understand how to create wealth using stable financial assets like shares.
Excerpt from the book:
“Somewhere in the middle of 2016, my son Michael, having just finished his zoology degree, said to me ‘so what’s all this share trading about then?’
Well, Michael, this is our answer!
In order to find out and answer that basic question, Michael and I have been on a year-long journey to discover what we can learn about share investing and trading and this is the result – a strategy and guidebook for anyone to follow in order to achieve a steady 10% return on small amounts of money which, if properly invested, will create financial freedom for most people and most families over time.
Our learning journey has been taken together as a mum and son – we’ve attended all courses together for instance and throughout the writings we have used I/we interchangeably. Sometimes the I is Michael and sometimes it’s me.
We’ve also used £ and $ fairly indiscriminately. These strategies work wherever you are and whatever your local currency might be and we invest in both the USA and UK for instance – but we could invest anywhere in the world from our desk at home. We’ve identified a couple of share brokers who between them cover more or less the entire globe – so again, it doesn’t matter where you live or what currency you start with – these strategies are entirely possible for you!”

An eclectic and skilfully-written series of absorbing tales
About the Book:
Life thwarts Floyd’s goals sooner or later. A rival challenges his new invention. His buried gold is confiscated by HM Treasury. He is wrongly charged with arson. He is unfairly dismissed. He campaigns to change part of English punctuation, yet inadvertently continues to use it afterwards. Helping a friend lands him in hospital. What has he done to deserve all this?
Yet he is resourceful in dealing with his adverse situations, whether personal or confronting the might of the state. Other characters must eat humble pie to stay afloat. College lecturer Ed Beck forsakes his principles. And Matt abandons his business dreams to preserve an old friendship.
Excerpt from the book:
“He was in town about to make arrangements to obtain a basket of European currencies: German marks, Swiss francs, Italian lire, French francs and Dutch guilders.
‘Excuse me sir,’ said a man in a raincoat, ‘police.’ He and his colleague produced a badge.
‘What’s this about?’
‘Where were you last Thursday night, around 11.00 p.m.?’
‘I don’t have to answer this!’
‘We can do this down at the station if you like.’
The detective offered Floyd a cigarette, which he refused.
‘So,’ asked the detective. ‘Where were you last Thursday night, around 11.00 p.m.?’
‘At the Cloak and Dagger, having a drink.’
‘On your own?’
‘No, with a work colleague.’
‘Where do you work?’
‘Not working at the moment. I’m due to go on an Inter-rail trip around Europe quite soon.’
‘Where did you last work?’
‘Frixton library.’
The detective and his colleague exchanged glances.
‘Who was the work colleague you were with at the Cloak and Dagger?’
‘Jack Mills,’ said Floyd automatically. It was not until a few minutes later that he remembered what Jack had told him about grassing. But what had Jack done, if anything?”
