A True Story of Seven Elephants, Two People, and One Extraordinary Friendship
 
One day in 1999, Lawrence Anthony and Francoise Malby hear that a herd of wild African elephants needs a new home. They welcome the herd to their wildlife sanctuary – Thula Thula – with open arms. But the elephants are much less sure they want to stay. How will Lawrence prove to them that they are safe and loved? What follows is a gorgeously illustrated real-life story of a friendship... and the story of the miraculous way that love given freely will return – greater and more wonderful than it began.
