On saving the world and other triumphant failures... As a child, young Kenyan Jess de Boer knew that one day she would save the world. Leaving behind the comfort of home she sets out to make her dream a reality. Many continents, adventures and a few hilarious mishaps later, Jess returns to Africa to dedicate herself to a new passion - beekeeping. Follow the beautifully illustrated misadventures of a young, modern-day explorer as she tackles the enormous challenges of aid in Africa, environmental concerns and conservation issues - often with humorous and dramatic results. While saving the world isn't as easy as it seems, we can make a positive change, one little bee at a time!
Jess de Boer is a farmer, beekeeper and lifelong student of the soil.
A Kenyan citizen of Dutch descent born and raised in Nairobi, Jess has spent the last decade working across the East and Horn of Africa in the Regenerative Agriculture space.
Jess retains a focus on facilitating the mainstream adoption of integrated land use practices across both tropical and dry-land (ASAL) landscapes and is committed to shaping the development of a regenerative African story - making farming cool again.
In 2014, she won the Africa Book Club Short Reads competition with her story 'The Honey Man'. In 2016, her debut book The Elephant and the Bee was published by Jacaranda Books. Sister Nature is her second book.
