It was supposed to be a picture book at the beginning. However, while creating illustrations the story just came to me. I wanted to show the life of a family of forest creatures that live in perfect harmony with nature. My goal was to show how peaceful and natural it could be for all of us. I desire to teach children how to love our planet and take care of it. Moreover, I want to show them that their everyday choices matter. They have the power to change the future and the planet belongs to them.

The mission was simple: carry a message to another planet, and then come home. What could go wrong?

This book brings the slave trade, anthropology, and psychology together in a rewarding partnership. Through a creative mix of facts and fiction it crosses not only physical boundaries - Africa and the Caribbean, North Africa, and the Sahara Desert. Jacques, a young and courageous surgeon, also tests boundaries "in general". Therefore, his narrative feels very contemporary and of relevance to us all. When the slave ship Les Trois Amis founders at sea and Amina, one of the enslaved Africans, regains her freedom and "lost humanity", all of us gain too. Amina's freedom also sets us free, extending our capacity for empathy of others and starting all over when our world falls apart. Amina teaches us how to go on living in a heartless world.This is an intriguing novel. It is unusual in its content, topical in its concerns, and written with great energy and wide background knowledge. It takes us into the dream world between reality and fiction and explores some of the most painful aspects of the history of the slave trade. It widens our understanding of the past and thepresent."Professor Alan Macfarlane, F.B.A.Emeritus Professor of Anthropological Science, Cambridge University
