Synopsis

This inspiring picture book about nature and climate change is a beautifully told tale set beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain. Elephants once roamed freely through lush lands fed by melting snow from the mountain top. As the snow begins to disappear, so does the water that sustains all life. It leads the elephants on a long and difficult journey in search of a new home. Through lyrical storytelling and captivating illustrations, this book invites children to marvel at nature's balance - and to care deeply for the animals and places that depend on it.

The story begins in East Africa, under a vast mountain capped with snow. The snow from the mountain fed streams of cooling water that flowed down into the dry land creating ponds and pools with many and varied forms of animal life.
