Savanna Quotes

“Long before the stars died the birds began to sing - cool rippling doves, loud cheery starlings, the long lilting trills of warblers and thrushes.”
― Mike Bond, The Last Savanna

“I have had my mother's wing of my genetic ancestry analyzed by the National Geographic tracing service and there it all is: the arrow moving northward from the African savannah, skirting the Mediterranean by way of the Levant, and passing through Eastern and Central Europe before crossing to the British Isles. And all of this knowable by an analysis of the cells on the inside of my mouth.

I almost prefer the more rambling and indirect and journalistic investigation, which seems somehow less… deterministic.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“Dawn raced like fire across the savanna.”
― Mike Bond, The Last Savanna

“The eastern savanna shifted from charcoal to deep purple; to the west a feverish orange moon sank into the Kiambu Hills.”
― Mike Bond, The Last Savanna

“April Jenkins' children's book Kirby of the Serengeti is an amazing fantasy adventure across the plains of the Serengeti. The story beholds the bonding of the lion pride, yet the generosity that can still exist toward a lost baby zebra - a great lesson for life! The watchful eye of the butterfly gives the story a lightness and a guardian-angel perspective.

As a veterinarian and guardian for Kirby, I thoroughly endorse this must-read for children and adults alike.
