Tua and the Elephant

by R. P. Harris, Taeeun Yoo

Overview

When a little girl in Thailand rescues an elephant, they set out on an adventure to find sanctuary in this charming children's story.
 
Ten-year-old Tua (Thai for "peanut") has everything she needs at home in Chiang Mai, Thailand, except for the one thing she's always wanted: a sister. In the market one day, Tua makes an accidental acquaintance—one with wise, loving eyes, remarkable strength, and a very curious trunk. And it's clear that Pohn-Pohn the elephant needs her help.
 
Together, they set off on a remarkable journey to escape from Pohn-Pohn's vile captors. From the bustling night market to the hallowed halls of a Buddhist temple and finally, to the sanctuary of an elephant refuge, this clever girl and her beloved companion find exactly what each has been searching for: a friend.
