About this title

From the Author:

Payu's Journey is an allegory, a wonderful and magical child's story illustrating higher virtues and a purer vision as a metaphorical antidote to a Trumpian world. Based upon the true and tragic story of a baby gone missing from a tent on a family camping trip in Australia, in my story Payu the dingo and her accidental burden embark on a journey in pursuit of a better place to raise the child. Along the way, diverse animals of like mind, cast-offs and loners, join her and dedicate themselves to her vision of a better place, bringing their various physical differences to bear in response to adversity along the way. A charming story, yet meaningful.

From the Back Cover:

When Payu the Dingo unexpectedly comes into possession of a human infant, she decides to keep the child. But her obstacles mount. Where can she raise the baby? Who will help supply the necessary food, protection, advice? And what is this mysterious drive to raise this tiny human as her own?   Within the pages of this book you will meet the charming animal personalities of the Motley Pack, a diverse group of animals supporting Payu on her journey, including Ngur the White Dingo, Ritta the Roo, Camu the Camel, and others, all devoted to the quest to find the Land in the Sky, a magical place of promise where this tiny human can grow to fulfill his destiny.
