This children's book is for any one, any age. It is a delight for all.
The book is about Hansa, the female baby elephant born in the Woodland Park zoo (Washington State). It is meant for children, but includes a lot of information for adults too. There are many highlights on elephants in general, their family and social life, tit-bits from ancient cultures and mythology, but most of all, Chai's (Hansa's mother) trip to the Dickerson Park zoo (Missouri) to meet Onyx, the male elephant, who was to father Hansa, and her return trip to the Woodland Park zoo.
The birth of Hansa, the reaction of other elephants in the zoo, their relationships to Hansa, the keepers and their important but dangerous job are all portrayed very well by the author.
