From Sesame Street staff writer and children’s book author Annie Evans, comes a story of compassion and courage. Aanika is a young African girl who meets Little, an orphaned baby elephant living at the sanctuary where her father works. The two grow up together the way only two young girls can, even if one has a trunk.

When Aanika’s father dies and she is sent to live with her uncle, she flees into the African Savannah to make one final farewell to Little. Camping that night in the bush the way she learned from her father, she is frightened by crashing branches only to discover, Little has followed her. Eventually, a small herd of elephants adopts the two and Aanika learns the beautiful, civil ways of an unlikely new family. Then, one day her courage is put to the test as she must save her newfound family from poachers.
