A moving  story of an unlikely friendship between a boy and the orphaned elephant he  saved.

In teenaged Aaron’s village in Zambia, elephants are considered dangerous  animals to be avoided at all costs. But when Aaron discovers a baby elephant  nearly drowning in the swimming pool at the guest lodge where he works, he  acts quickly and manages to rescue the animal just in time. When Aaron visits  the elephant orphanage where the baby, named Zambezi, has been taken, the  manager there realizes that Aaron has a natural way with animals and he  offers him a job. Suddenly Aaron’s life is transformed as he discovers a bond  of friendship with Zambezi and a lifelong vocation as an elephant  keeper.

This powerful story will encourage children everywhere to help endangered  animals.
