The true story of how a couple helped save elephants in Africa.
I knew this book would get me emotional and the ending got me all choked up.
This book tells the story of how a couple, who lived on protected land in Africa, took a chance with allowing some "angry" elephants to live with them. The bond between the couple and the elephants slowly builds and develops throughout the book. It was amazing to see this relationship and the drawings really added to the beauty of this story and its setting. The book teaches a great lesson about having compassion and patience with all animals...a lesson everyone needs to learn. I also appreciated the extra information about the reserve and how to donate to the Thula Thula charity.
