Elephants never forget
During a drought in Tanzania, Grandma Elephant is in search of water for
her herd. Little Calf follows along and mimics her grandmother at each
stop on their journey. When Grandma leads them to a watering hole she
recalls from years before, the elephants are overjoyed and Little Calf
splashes about with her tender leader. Grandma's persistence and
powerful memory is something Little Calf will never forget. Based on
true events.
Sandra Markle's acclaimed nonfiction writing takes on a more lyrical
style alongside Fabricio VandenBroeck's gorgeous illustrations making
this story of animal behavior accessible for younger readers.
