Mienke Etsebeth is a South African author inspired by diverse experiences in the Middle East and Peru and over 12 years of homeschooling my three boys. My children s books draw from family adventures in the desert, featuring cultural richness, life lessons, and educational themes. Through stories of Bedouins, camels, and exploration, I aim to inspire a love for reading and learning in young minds. While new to writing and yet unpublished, I am passionate about crafting meaningful tales that encourage curiosity and leave a lasting impact on young readers.
