This storybook Zulu & Zot, which includes 33 full color oil painted original illustrations and three sketches, appeals to the inner child and art lover of all ages. It is most suitable for mature readers from 12 and up. It is quirky, surreal, silly, spiritual and down to earth. It rhymes, is lyrical, and fun to recite. It is a story that whimsically looks at issues of identity in an open-minded non-judgmental way. It is presented as a fairy tale, an enchanted hero's journey and adventure or the path of the enlightened fool. The four main characters explore ideas that integrate rational thought and intuition, love and compassion and ego and innocence. Some might find it reminiscent perhaps of Dr. Suess mixed with Alice in Wonderland with an added a dash of The Hobbit. It is a children's style book that is fun for younger readers, and adults, who can read it to children and put their own spin to it.The narrative resonates in different ways with a variety of readers based on their age and personal life experience, but most importantly, it can be just whatever you make of it.
