The beautiful habitats and harsh realities of the lives of elephants are depicted in this stunningly photographed and persuasive book. Elephant and human interaction has occurred for thousands of years through worship, work, and wars. Today, humans are causing a decline in the elephant population. According to Blewett, there are 400,000 to 500,000 elephants today compared to millions in 1900. The two biggest threats to elephants are poaching for ivory and land loss due to human expansion. Blewett believes that learning about the elephant struggle and spreading the message can help save elephants from further harm. She reviews the elephants’ habitats in Asia and Africa, their diet, their family structure, and their struggles. She asks readers to discourage people from buying products made from ivory and explains how humans can protect their lands from elephants without killing them. She recommends creating petitions, displaying drawings and photos, dressing and acting like an elephant, and creating a fictional crime scene displaying an elephant that has been killed for its tusks. She provides examples of elephants that have been rescued, making the stories relatable to humans. One example is that of Wanda and Gypsy, two circus elephants who were reunited 20 years after being separated. They not only remembered each other but excitedly greeted each other after the long separation. Blewett goes beyond basic background and provides hands-on activities to teach readers how to take action to save elephants. Readers are sure to learn something new. This book is a complete resource for activists. It includes gorgeous and detailed photographs, a link to online tools, and limited maps and charts. Comics are used to illustrate the senses of elephants. The personal stories from those in the field all over the world are enough to persuade anyone to get involved.

I was abducted by aliens.
The aliens that I've been auctioned to don't speak my language, and I definitely can't speak theirs. I didn't expect to get married by accident to the sweet one.
I didn't expect to have a grumpy alien bond to me and go a little crazy if other males get near me, or if I try to leave. It doesn't matter if they've won my heart. I can't stay.
Somehow, I have to explain that I need to go home. Because the bad aliens that abducted me? They took me from my babies.
Contains mature themes.
