Nasra is the queen of the jungle who is the main character of the book. A female lead character with such a diverse background gives young children, and especially young girls, another role model whom they aren't exposed to everyday. Her wishes are parallel to the global goals, predominantly goals 1, 2, 3 4, 5, and goals 10, 16 and 17. The book displays a double meaning - the jungle refers to our nation. This book is a wonderful way to introduce children to what the SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) would mean in simplistic and interesting terms. This book is also to engage and inspire every child on earth with the sustainable development goals. It would not only symbolize young girls who would look like myself but young boys and young girls across the globe from all walks of life would see themselves displayed in this book.

You’ll learn how to: • Assert your own interests while respecting the other side’s • Use power effectively • Defuse the other side’s attack, manipulation, and guilt tactics • Reduce stress and anxiety • Develop healthier relationships • Stand up for yourself without stepping on the other person’s toes In today’s world of high stress and limitless choices, the pressure to give in and say Yes grows greater every day, producing overload and overwork, expanding e-mail and eroding ethics.

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi: You can give someone the permission unknowingly to hurt you. This is very true in a relationship, if one chooses the wrong person. One can also decide not to give someone that permission to hurt him or her by saying yes only to the right person. Just like in a business, before starting a partnership, one is expected to choose a potential business partner based on strict business rules of engagements. Being involved romantically with someone is a serious business too. And before you handover your heart to someone, you are expected to do the needful, that is, making the right choice based on strict relationship guidelines. Loving someone is not just enough to think you have chosen the right person. And a few displays of affections by this person are not also enough to risk your heart to a stranger. More to it is accessing this person before giving your heart. Is there a right person? How will I know if this person is the right person? How will I know if it s real love? How can I avoid making mistake in choosing a partner? Can I minimize the chances of heartbreak or divorce? Can I still fix my crumbling relationship? How can I become a right partner? Yes only to the Right Person: A guide to Choosing the Right Partner answers these questions by guiding you in making an honest appraisal of a person/relationship before handing over your heart. After reading this book; you can only be in a romantic relationship with the wrong person, by choice.
