From Queen Push Push at home,

To a Queen in the jungle,

To a fondant kitten,

… to a scream in the jungle,

Robbie’s cats take on a deeper meaning – the knowledge, respect and caring of all wildlife.

She has photographed, videoed, written story books & poetry, painted, blogged and fondanted her message into the world and into my heart.

Time to shine a star!

The idea to spotlight Robbie’s work began with a post I did on GLAM that featured street art with kittens. (click on the pic below to see the post)

Robbie was then inspired to respond with fondant kittens.

This is my response.

Robbie lives in South Africa and has access to seeing its wildlife. The following shots (& more) of hers are available for free at UNSPLASH ROBBIE CHEADLE

I have read many of her children’s books. Her books teach and have taught me, an adult. In “Sir Chocolate and the Fondant Five” I learned about the Big Five in Africa.

Do you know who the “Big Five” are?

 Well, they are the “Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino & Buffalo”. I found these videos on Robbie’s YouTube channel. They are only seconds long, so have a watch!

* Note: I couldn’t find a leopard video, so the Cheetahs are filling in.

Robbie’s YouTube Channel is a creative depot, with readings, recipes and animals. There are also videos of monkeys, birds, giraffes, waterbucks, hippos, kudu, zebras, wild dogs, insects and more.

Robbie writes with her son Michael Cheadle, who shares her love of nature and desire to help protect it. I haven’t read “Neema the Misfit Giraffe”, but am bound to.

A prolific creator, she will have another book out before I post this. “Square Peg in a Round Hole: Poetry, Art & Creativity”

You can find her books on Amazon sites around the globe. Just search “Robbie Cheadle” for children and youth books – “Roberta Eaton Cheadle” for adult books.

Some of her books are also available on KOBO.

Finally, flowers don’t scream. However her photos of them, like this Magnolia, sure do.
