The Hunter

 

One day while playing hunters in the hot dry African bush, Jamina finds a baby elephant whimpering besides its dead mother. As Jamina bravely helps the little orphaned elephant return to its herd, she goes on a journey of self discovery and realizes that she will never be a real hunter.

"Seamlessly blends evocative writing and arresting images into a harmonious whole. . . . An affecting, gently told story with a resounding message."  —Publishers Weekly

"Simple text highlights the universality of the experience while breathtaking, realistic, full-color illustrations accent the panorama of the countryside and some of its ecological niches. . . .  Brave Jamina is a heroine who will be welcome in story time, classroom, or just for pleasure."  —School Library Journal
