Description
There's a lot to love about elephants-from their massive size and floppy ears to their twisting trunks and long tusks! And the more you get to know about their clever minds and caring hearts, the more you realize humans and elephants have much in common!In this volume of Science Comics, we follow an eight-year-old elephant named Duni. Her family means everything to her: protection, stability, wisdom, and a ton of fun. But her idyllic life is beginning to shift and crack. The herd's matriarch is getting older, her brother has been wandering off, and rifts are forming between the ones she loves most. Is Duni's family on the verge of falling apart?
