About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking difficult questions about why humans hurt animals or when they are struggling to understand the balance between nature and civilization. This is a powerful, beautifully illustrated story about Jamina, a young African girl who gets lost in the bush and finds herself protecting a baby elephant orphaned by poachers. It addresses heavy themes like grief and the impact of illegal hunting with deep empathy and courage. While the subject matter is serious, it is a vital tool for parents who want to foster a sense of environmental stewardship and global citizenship. The story models how one small person can make a difference through kindness and responsibility.
