Spot’s Busy Day in the Bushveld is a sweet picture book that belongs on every nature-loving child’s bookshelf.
A WONDERFUL PICTURE BOOK FOR NATURE-LOVING KIDS:
The story is about an adorable cheetah cub with loads of personality and the animals she encounters in the African wilderness. The book follows on the heels of Tanja Nayak’s first book about African wildlife, "Stripe’s Busy Night in the Bushveld" and in this second book we see the completion of what twenty-four hours on the savannah looks like. It also includes an informative factual section with full-colour photographs.
The day begins with the sun rising behind the Lebombo Mountains and its first rays waking Spot and her family. Readers then follow Spot as she makes her way through the bushveld and meets her best friend, a honey badger, Stripe. Adventure waits as the pair stumble upon a dangerous boomslang. Do they rescue the day and chase the boomslang away and save Mrs. Weaverbird’s chicks and Mrs. Squirrel’s babies? You’ll have to read Spot’s story to find out.
The first section of the book is Spot’s story and the second looks at Africa’s famous “Big Five” animals in detail: the legendary lion, impressive elephant, stealthy leopard, skittish rhinoceros, and mighty buffalo. Complete with gorgeous photographs and natural history, including fun facts about each this book is sure to impress the most discerning of young readers (and teachers and parents will appreciate it too).
There also is a bonus feature about wildlife in peril, the vulnerable cheetah and African wild dog which has sadly landed on the Endangered Species Red List.

"Thank you so much for gifting my son your books. He's obsessed with animals and I wish you could've seen his face light up when he opened the bag! Your stories were lovely and so educational. We haven't stopped reading both of them since you gifted us. Thank you!"

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
