Natumi, a baby African elephant, is brought to a wildlife orphanage with seven other parentless pachyderms and eventually grows into a confident leader for her new family. This story of successful wildlife reintroduction is enhanced by Ellis's dynamic (but unlabeled) photographs of the elephants. Back matter includes additional information about elephants and conservation efforts and a detailed habitat map. Reading list, websites.
