About the Author

Hello! My name is Kayleigh. I am a farmer’s wife, and mum to three little ones: Sophia, Asher and Isla-Mae. My husband’s name is Devon and we have been married for quite some time now (12 years and counting). We live in Zululand, KZN, and run a sugarcane farm and a game reserve in Mkuze. Before I was married and became a mother, I studied plant pathology and microbiology at UKZN in Pietermaritzburg, obtaining my Bsc Honours degree. I went from studying to teaching, as I now homeschool my children (we live in a very remote area on the Pongola River, and require flexible ‘school time’ due to the nature of our work). Homeschooling led me to create reading material that was not only educational, but also enriching, engaging, and fun! I’ve always loved reading, writing, researching, and painting, so I used this as my opportunity to be as utterly creative as I could be. These books are based on our fun adventures as a family living our wild life. Wildlife, birding, conservation, and farming are the center of the stories. Follow along to also learn more about our incredible wildlife, and what nature and conservation have to offer us all.
