Book Description

In the vast desert, a curious little camel named Desert Rose loves exploring the endless dunes and discovering new wonders. One day, while resting at an oasis with her herd, she wanders off and stumbles upon a patch of vibrant wildflowers. Among the flowers, she meets Billy the Bee, who is busy collecting pollen. As they chat, Billy reveals that Desert Rose is named after one of these beautiful desert flowers. This surprises and delights her, as she never knew she shared a name with such a special bloom.


Billy the Bee explains the important role he plays in helping the flowers grow, spreading pollen throughout the desert. Desert Rose learns about the delicate balance of life in the harsh desert, where the flowers only bloom after the rain and the bees work hard to ensure their survival. She races back to her mother to share her exciting discovery and feels proud to be named after a flower that thrives in such a magical place.


As the day ends, Desert Rose reflects on the lessons she’s learnt about nature, curiosity, and the interconnectedness of life in the desert, eagerly awaiting her next adventure.

I am a South African author inspired by diverse experiences in the Middle East and Peru and over 12 years of homeschooling my three boys. My children’s books draw from family adventures in the desert, featuring cultural richness, life lessons, and educational themes. Through stories of Bedouins, camels, and exploration, I aim to inspire a love for reading and learning in young minds. While new to writing and yet unpublished, I am passionate about crafting meaningful tales that encourage curiosity and leave a lasting impact on young readers.
