Written by Margriet Ruurs, Illustrated by Pedro Covo
Wonderful book about how a young boy helps an orphaned elephant heal. I liked that this was a combination of story and fact. Every chapter (only 3) had two pages of facts that followed the story. Great information about how much work is involved in taking care of orphaned elephants and how to rehabilitate them to return to the wild.
