Tua & The Elephant
What a terrific book! Tua (which means peanut) sees an elephant being mistreated and decides to help it escape. She goes on a daring journey to bring the elephant to safety and learns a lot along the way. The girls mostly enjoyed this book, though they sometimes needed a bit of help understanding some of what was going on, or some of the references. At book club we talked about the welfare of women & girls around the world-- what it's like to stand up for what you know is right, and how we would feel if we were in Tua's situation.
