This inspiring picture book about nature and climate change is a beautifully told tale set beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain. Elephants once roamed freely through lush lands fed by melting snow from the mountain top. As the snow begins to disappear, so does the water that sustains all life. It leads the elephants on a long and difficult journey in search of a new home. Through lyrical storytelling and captivating illustrations, this book invites children to marvel at nature’s balance — and to care deeply for the animals and places that depend on it.
Perfect for children aged 4–8, it is a touching bedtime story that inspires empathy and curiosity. It sparks conversations about nature and climate change.
Author: Richard ffrench-Constant was born in Nairobi whilst his father was posted there as a doctor with the RAF. Although he is now a professional entomologist at the University of Exeter, his first love has always been the animals of Kenya. He is now leading field courses to Kenya and regularly visits Amboseli National Park, the setting of this book.
Illustrator: After graduating in Art and Design, with a first-class degree in Fine Art, Emma Wood travelled to South Africa to help on two game reserves. This inspired her to return to university and study wildlife conservation. Now with a PhD in evolutionary ecology at the University of Exeter, she continues to visit Africa, this time to conduct research on the wildlife there.
