Elephants Remember

From the author and illustrator of The Eye of the Whale (Tilbury House, 2013), this is the nonfiction picture book story of Lawrence Anthony and his animal reserve in Zululand, South Africa. The deep bond between Anthony and the traumatized elephants he saved is at the heart of this story. When Lawrence died, the elephants gathered outside his home from remote parts of the reserve to mourn him, and they returned on the first and second anniversaries of his death--because elephants remember. This story of human-animal mutual love and respect has the full cooperation of Anthony's wife and children.
