Synopsis

From the moment Thunder took his first step, it was clear that his footsteps would make quite an impression on the world around him.
The tiny elephant's life was pretty much perfect until one fateful night when poachers crept into it. In the cloak of darkness, they sprang on his herd separating him from his mother and the rest of the African pygmy herd. After a harrowing escape, Thunder must dig deep inside to find the courage to find his way home. With helpful friends and the watchful eye of the Great Tusker in the sky, Thunder's journey is the adventure of a lifetime.

About this title

From the Author:

I've watched these magnificent treasures, for years now, even as they search for safety and space to roam, they are innocent, smart, and joyful. They've been blessed with the addition of a curious little calf named Thunder. One of only a few, if not the last, generation of gentle giants who have much to teach the Uprights -- This is his story.The story is also a great introduction to the concept of preserving the planet and its species. In a wonderful touch, an appendix gives contact information for a variety of organizations that are trying to stop the practice of poaching and protect the environment. Hopefully, this work will inspire young and old readers alike to do their parts to help save the beautiful creatures of Africa.
