Beskrivning
From the author-illustrator of The Eye of the Whale (Tilbury House, 2013), this nonfiction picture book tells the story of Lawrence Anthony and the deep bond he forged with the matriarch of the herd he saved at his animal reserve in South Africa. When Lawrence died, the matriarch led all the elephants from remote parts of the reserve in a procession to his home, where they gathered to mourn him. They returned on the same day at the same time for the next two years -- because elephants remember. This moving story of human-elephant mutual love and respect will inspire readers of all ages.

"STARRED REVIEW: At Thula Thula, a wild-animal reserve in Zululand, Lawrence Anthony received an urgent call from a fellow conservationist. Attacked by poachers, a herd of frightened elephants had broken out of their enclosure, and the matriarch and her calf were killed. Anthony agreed to give the herd a new home, but when they arrived by truck, the elephants were understandably distraught.The first night, they broke down an electric fence and escaped. Shot with tranquilizer darts, they were brought back. Anthony tried to gain the trust of Nana, the new matriarch. The next night,when they prepared to escape again, he talked with her. The herd stayed, and Thula Thula became their home. Anthony and Nana became friends. After he died suddenly, she inexplicably led the herd across the reserve for miles. The elephants stood near his house, "rumbling quietly."O'Connell notes that elephants “mourn the deaths of family members.” Based on Anthony’s The Elephant Whisperer (2009), this picture book offers insights into elephants and underscores the necessity of protecting them. Using color and lighting effectively, O’Connell’s acrylic paintings help viewers imagine the unfamiliar settings. Her touching story awakens a sense of wonder about elephants as well as curiosity about how they experience the world."
