Vanuatu ticks all the boxes: island getaway, safe and friendly people, warm tropical climate, great snorkelling spots and ideal for your first international venture to the South Pacific. Vanuatu artistically has colour encapsulated both naturally and physically across its islands. The locals often present it in their clothing and sometimes with a quiet touch of a hibiscus flower placed in their hair. You cannot help thinking that the beautiful fish you study closely when you snorkel are not the only colour that surrounds and engulfs these islands of Vanuatu. The colours reflect the beautiful smiles of the Vanuatuans who go about life with freedom and sincere love.

Move aside Tiger Mom and forget Helicopter Parenting. Karmickids is the view from the other side of the fence – of laid-back parenting, of giving in to food jags, of making unstructured play time mandatory, and of not bursting a blood vessel when the grades are not what one might want to discuss in public. A roller coaster ride of love, laughter, and a few tears, Manral takes you through the beautiful chaos of the early years of parenthood. Written in a gently humorous style, this home-grown, hit-the-ground-running account of the madness of day-to-day parenting is peppered with anecdotes, reminiscences, a little practical advice and is a non-preachy, hilarious take on raising a spirited child while retaining one’s good spirits through it all.
