Book excerpt: The themes of the fables deal with the necessary changes we all must go through in our lives. By showing the effects of change in humans, animals, and even in normally inanimate objects such as lighthouses, we encourage children to think of themselves as part of nature, to care for it, and to think about the ways in which we all interact with the world and with each other. Whilst they are designed to be read to small children and for older children to read by themselves. In the schools, the fables have been used as educational teaching materials that serve the learning experience and the understanding of the relationships between man and nature. The respon-sibility for each other is evident in all fables. The rainbow serves as symbol of hope and the power of implementation.
