Jamina wants to be a hunter when she grows up. But when she becomes separated from her grandfather in the bush she learns what it's like to be hunted and much more besides through her encounter with an orphaned baby elephant. A thoughtful and moving story. The illustrations are powerful and dramatic with stunningly beautiful scenes of the flora and fauna of the African landscape from sunrise to nightfall through which Jamina makes her journey of self-discovery. A book whose images - both visual and verbal - evoke awe and wonder at every turn of the page.
