Produktbeschreibung
In all 8 volumes of the book, Exploring Our World: Meet Amazing Animals of the Seven Continents and the Caribbean Isles, where a child "MIRO" star enlightens us, through inquisitive questioning, on life in their world. Not only do they require knowledge of their ancestors/species lineage, name meaning, geographical orientation/habitats, physical characteristics, behavioral patterns, and their senses, they proudly claim their icon-ship as cultural symbols of the animal kingdom and as famous engineers, track stars, and superheroes. They promote world peace and diplomacy in their duties as "cultural ambassadors", following in the footsteps of Jamaica's musical group, Third World in their song titled "Reggae Ambassador". On a more serious note, coming out of the mouth of babes, child MIROs, with a big heart but little voice of their own, belt out a loud cry for help in a chorus of condemnation. To all who read the pages of these books, these child stars are imploring us, through their profiles, the question narratives, and the appendices, to take a stand on the plight of their kind. Animal/MIRO cruelty as noted in the perils and threats section, comes in the form of inhumane treatment from physical abuse and torture, exploitation as circus animals, movie actors, and forced fighting/bullfighters, human predation, pollution, loss of habitat, displacement, inflicting pains and suffering, and neglect as well as emotional abuse from caging that prevents social interaction with family and friends, deprivation and starvation from feeding them wrong foods, and hoarding, cross-breeding, overhunting, overtraining, and over-testing them. These child stars are staking a claim to their future in their birth countries, regions, and habitats that their ancestors lived in for millions of years and now they are being "evicted" from their own ancestral lands and pushed on the streets for vehicular traffic to run them over or for them to rummage in garbage bins for food, only to be shot dead for intruding on private property in sprawling luxurious housing complexes. They are urging humankind to fight on their behalf through legal advocacy, demonstrations, and peaceful protests for humane slaughtering techniques, ethical testing, and delivering compassionate speeches on the MIROs 'behalf in a race against time.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Indiana Robinson was born in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1950s to David Harrison (Brand Flu/Comvalius) son of a Surinamese immigrant and Indiana Emily Harrison. Her mother, Louise is the daughter of Ellen Lipscombe Perry and James Blake Perry. Dr. R, as she is known to her students, is married to International reggae artiste, Jackie Robinson, lead singer of the Pioneers Reggae Group. She credits her husband, her sisters Fernandie and Sharon, and her two brothers Edgar and Arthur as the pillars on which she stands in pursuing her dreams and aspirations. With no children of her own, she values her stepchildren, Bobby, Marc, and Kelly; her nieces and nephews, Major C. J. Reid, 2nd Lieutenant Tara Price, and Errol Jnr Price; Krisan and Captain Caniggia Harrison; Marsha, Sean Rohan, and Dean Hibbert as well as her grandnephew Caleb and her Godchildren: Dean Beckford, Jahari 'JaJa' Yates, Tyree Hunter, and Little Joan Ennis-Thomas. Dr. Herma Meade Thompson is from a large family. Her mother Viola (nee Baker) and father Reginald were both from the parish of Manchester on the island of Jamaica. Viola was the second wife of Reginald who had ten children from his previous marriage to Florence (nee Stewart). Herma is the eleventh child for Reginald and the only one for Viola. Viola embraced her ten stepchildren (whose mother had died) and continued their upbringing as if she had been the one who had given birth to them; a feat for which she will be forever held in high esteem in their hearts. Herma now has four stepdaughters as a result of her marriage to Lascell - Crystal, April, Laseiqua, and Akelia. Is she in some uncanny coincidence retracing the steps of her mother?
