The stars in the fifth story bring together two girls - a Masai and an Australian - marked by fate in the same manner. Through these tales we learn how to listen to the wind and how to understand people different from ourselves. The goal of these stories is for the readers to become fascinated by fantasy journeys. The young readers will take their own knowledge of the world and their family with them on these journeys, and learn about different ways of life full of similar mutual relations and identical fears and joys.

However, the most important message is the realisation that we are all very much alike despite all the differences. We love our nearest and dearest, we laugh at a funny story, and we are upset by injustice, regardless of when, where in the world, and what family we were born into.The collection of stories And Off We Go will help you discover at least some of your secret wishes and chase away prejudice and fears.These five stories will change your outlook at the world. For the better.
