Illustrated by
Karin Littlewood.
After the deaths of Sieta's parents, she goes to live with her aunt in a place she thinks of as "Home Now." A visit to an elephant park allows her to bond with an orphaned baby elephant. The book is set in Africa, and the subtext (indicated by an author's note) is AIDS awareness. Deep-hued watercolor and gouache illustrations reflect the story's sadness and hope. Websites.
