They touch on topics such as being greedy and stranger danger, with a sprinkle of added magic. The Green Book and Tiny Tyrannosaurus explore family life. I have four and have written a children’s book for each child. One of the most wonderful events in my life has been having grandchildren.

The little chameleon proves to be helpful in getting the family through tricky situations, The book is both an enchanting memoir of a happy family holiday in Europe in the company of a charismatic little chameleon, and a nostalgic reminder of the freedom of travel in the days before airport security and border controls (and although Mugia was put into her own shoebox when the family went through customs, Mary strongly advises children not to try this trick today!)Īt the end of the epic journey, Mugia returns safely to her Nairobi garden! The book relates the stories of the family’s 17,000 mile journey through Europe, visiting nine countries as far as the Arctic Circle, as seen through Mugia’s eyes. There was no alternative but to bring the little chameleon, who Paul had named Mugia, along with them for the rest of the holiday. As a typical Kenyan boy, Paul always had a snake in his pocket or a chameleon on his shoulder, and Mary’s delightful story tells how, on the flight to Europe on leave with the family, Mary saw to her horror, at 32,000 feet above the Sahara Desert, a chameleon walking across the back of Paul’s seat in front of her. This true story recounts the time in 1966 when Mary’s son Paul was a young child. “The Chameleon Who Went to the North Pole…Almost!”, is an excellent, 70 page, fully colour illustrated book, ideal for children aged 6 – 12 years. She was a well-known teacher in Nairobi for many years and she knows how to make each chapter both interesting and educational. Mary Epsom is a Froebel Foundation trained teacher, who started a kindergarten in Nairobi, Kenya, and eventually owned and managed three more with a combined capacity of 400 pupils. Why? She’s just published her first book at the age of 94. My guest this week is very, very special.
