The Adventures of Zumba and Rumba is a childrens book. It is designed for seven- to twelve-year-old readers. The story takes place in Africa, mainly in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. Zumba and Rumba are brother and sister who are separated from their parents when warriors raid a village where they are visiting. Zumba is the boy, and he is eleven years old. Rumba is ten years old. In Book 3, they are searching for their mother. They must travel across Tanzania and Kenya to reach Somalia. Once in Somalia, they must find where their mother is being held by slave-trading pirates. They are aided by a fourteen-year-old Somali boy whom they rescue. He is an excellent sailor, and they are able to sail along the coast of Somalia to attempt a rescue. Warriors, crocodiles, sharks, pirates, cyclones, and wild hogs put them in constant danger.

The three authors worked together for years to create this amazing story of two brave and clever African children. In this first book of a series, Zumba and Rumba experience many exciting adventures after slave-trading warriors separate them from their parents during a raid. G. Alan Brooks “Poppy” is the grandfather of two grandchildren who are the same age as Zumba and Rumba. Poppy lives in Miami, Florida with his wife, and the grandchildren live in the Northeastern United States with their parents. Poppy has two other grandchildren who are now helping with book two: The Searching. The authors all love stories and books. The time spent together between the grandfather and the grandchildren collaborating on the book was super special. There were many hours of fun spinning tales, brainstorming and exploring multiple ideas through different resources. The authors did extensive research on African folklore, African wildlife, and African stories; reading books and learning about numerous aspects of the African Continent. This book has been growing as an idea for many years. In the last two years, it gained more shape and direction as Tyler and Ryan became almost the same age as Zumba and Rumba. His grandchildren helped the characters think and act their age, while Poppy typed the manuscript and helped with ideas for the different adventures The authors hope this book provides an inspiration and opportunity for families to have a special time together, reading and sharing stories.

This book started as an initiative for promoting physical fitness among people, with Zumba workouts in mind on the top. Then it was evolved into more aspects of life, to include losing weight, living healthy, wellness, entertainment, stress relief, and plenty of other interesting branches of our life.

The "hilarious and poignant" story of one chronically anxious woman's quest to become braver by seeking out the kinds of experiences she's spent her life avoiding (Cheryl Strayed). For most of her life (and even during her years as the host of a popular radio show), Courtenay Hameister lived in a state of near-constant dread and anxiety. She fretted about everything. Her age. Her size. Her romantic prospects. How likely it was that she would get hit by a bus on the way home. Until a couple years ago, when, in her mid-forties, she decided to fight back against her debilitating anxieties by spending a year doing little things that scared her -- things that the average person might consider doing for a half second before deciding: "nope." Things like: attending a fellatio class. She did that. She also spent an afternoon in a sensory deprivation tank, got (legally) high in the middle of a workday, had a session with a professional cuddler, braved twenty-eight first dates, and (perhaps scariest of all) actually met someone who might possibly appreciate her for who she is. Refreshing, relatable, and pee-your-pants funny, Okay Fine Whatever is Courtenay's hold-nothing-back account of her adventures on the front lines of Mere Human Woman vs. Fear, reminding us that even the tiniest amount of bravery is still bravery, and that no matter who you are, it's possible to fight complacency and become bold, or at least bold-ish, a little at a time.
