How did peppercorns and turmeric sail away from the Land of the Blue Mountains and across the seas to reach the markets of Zanzibar? Who is the Pepper Pirate? Who was the first Spice Sailor? Watch A.M. Brown's new folktale to find out all about this fantastic spice voyage. The story has been written to commemorate World Storytelling Day 2020 (20 March) with the theme -'voyages'.
Kindness is that language which even the deaf can hear and the blind can see. We must learn to be kind to one another. Alfie and Barnie learn to hoot and the owl class learns kindness in A.M.Browns short story for children.
A bit of mythology and a lot of folklore woven into a mindful tale. They always moved together, in sync. Them and their shadows. Respecting self and space. In harmony, at peace.
So often we hanker after what we others have. So often we want to be something or someone who we are not. When we have something good, when we think we are blessed...the want seeps in and we start envying others. We want that dress, we want that toy, we want that car, we want that house, we want to be fairer and taller and thinner and cleverer and have a better salary, better travel, better social life....the list is endless... Stop to think; do we really need it? Is it really good for us? Are we really so badly off that we need to crave something more? Drive to achieve is great but obsessive need to have is definitely detrimental to our mental health. We need to love ourselves just the way we are and only focus on being the best version of our own selves. A.M.Brown's simple tale - Sunday Story is all about being happy as you are.
