Hello World! I am Erjok, the Nature's Friendly Kid

This book originated from my conversation with my 7-year-old son, Erjok, who loves bugs and insects, as well as his desire to explore the universe to discover different kinds of insects and bugs around our galaxy. As a Soldier, I have been away most of my children's young lives because of military deployments overseas. This book is my attempt to establish a conversation with my children that I am hoping will connect us for life in a fun way. Additionally, I desire to inspire all children in our world, particularly African children in the Diaspora and in the Motherland to see themselves in the world of printed imaginations and natural science that discuss the importance of ecosystems, and contributions of all creatures to our environment. This book is meant to inspire young readers to explore their natural surroundings, and to appreciate the little creatures that are normally taken for granted or dismissed as nuisance.

Hello World! I am Erjok, the Nature's Friendly Kid is the first in a series of short stories that depict Erjok and his sisters, Achol, and Aluel as friends from different planet on a journey to discover and learn about the nature and its habitats. This first book tells the story of three alien kids landing on Earth and embarked on a discovery mission to the local forests, rivers, and the seas as well as a visit to a human populated city to learn about the intricate ecosystems. Please join us to earn about the critical roles that bugs and insects play in our world, the importance the seas creatures, usefulness of trees, and the human interact and coexistence with all the creatures on Earth.
