Description:
1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill.
Summary:
An illustrated
true
account of
three
ailing
elephants
' journey from a cold Canadian
zoo
to a sanctuary in California, where they were healed by the warmer climate and more suitable terrain. In 2013, people across North America were riveted by the
story
of Toka, Thika, and Iringa, the last
three
elephants
at the
zoo
in Toronto, Ontario. Lonely for a larger herd, sick from the cold climate, and weak from standing for long days in a too-small concrete enclosure, the
elephants
desperately needed a change. The
zoo
and animal activists agreed that they should be moved to a healthier home, but the best option the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) sanctuary in distant California seemed like an impossible dream. In Elephant Journey, leading activist and award-winning author Rob Laidlaw unfolds the journey of how that impossible dream was realized. In clear, straightforward prose, he describes the
elephants
experiences on the journey of
three
days and 4,100 kilometers that brought them to the sanctuary at last. Celebrated illustrator Brian Deines oil paintings, based on actual footage of the trip, provide an intimate window into the experiences of Toka, Thika, and Iringa as they braved
their
long road to a new life. Extensive back matter includes an index, photographs, and further information about this miraculous Elephant Journey.
