Publisher's blub: I said: 'I'm going to be your Australian Mumma and Frank is going to be your Australian Pappa.' This dear little boy looked up at us, smiled and put his hand in mine. Instantly all my qualms dissipated...

When retired couple Janet Seath and Frank Scaysbrook offered to become surrogate parents to a six-year-old Kenyan boy for 12 months while he underwent surgery to treat horrific burns, they had no idea how their young charge would completely change their lives.

Just a few years earlier, four-year-old Safari Kamanzi had been sitting by the light of a kerosene candle, wrapped in a sarong, when a breath of wind blew the edge of the material across the flame and within seconds his entire left side was alight melting the delicate skin of his tiny body.

Safari's remarkable transformation in 14 operations over 12 months in Australia was featured on the Nine Network's real-life hospital series RPA. Despite this gruelling schedule of painful surgery, Safari's courage and irresistible sparkle won over millions of Australians.
