panda_incognito's review
5.0
This nonfiction picture book has gorgeous illustrations and shares the touching story of how a conservationist gradually won the trust of traumatized elephants, protected them, and bonded with them. When he died years later, the elephants made a pilgrimage to his home, and they returned on the same day for the following two years. The text conveys this story in a sensitive, beautiful, and touching way, and it will appeal to a broad audience.
However, because this book deals with heavy themes related to animal abuse and death, parents and educators should take children's needs into account before sharing this with them. Just because this is in a picture book format doesn't mean that it's necessarily suitable for young children, and this may also be difficult for some highly sensitive school-age children to process. Nonetheless, this is a profound and meaningful story about the intelligence of animals and the power of the emotional bonds that humans and animals can form together.
I received a temporary digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
