Just for Elephants : |
Just for ElephantsShirley, an elderly former circus elephant who had suffered a debilitating leg injury that forced her retirement, lived alone at a small Louisiana zoo for twenty-three years. When the zoo decided Shirley needed to live with other elephants, she moved to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, the nation’s first natural habitat refuge for old and sick elephants. On her first day at the Sanctuary, Shirley is welcomed by the other elephants and has an emotional reunion with Jenny, a younger elephant with whom she worked in the circus two decades before. Shirley will never be alone again and, together, she and Jenny begin a new life. A Smithsonian "Notable Books for Children" (2006) and winner of the National Association for Humane and Environmental Education’s KIND Children's Book Award. “This is a beautifully written, compelling story of a conscientious drive to care for these animals in a humane way, and to provide a home for them that is as close to the wild as possible.” – School Library Journal Reading level: Grades 3–6

Travels with Tarra : |
Travels with TarraThey met when Carol Buckley was a college student studying the care of exotic animals and Tarra was the tiny mascot for a tire company. Carol soon took over Tarra’s care and eventually she was able to buy the young elephant. Together they toured the U.S. and Canada performing with various circuses and theme parks and Tarra won fame as the world’s only roller skating elephant. But after fifteen years of traveling and performing, Carol knew it was time for Tarra to retire and live as natural an elephant life as possible. This led her to buy land in rural Tennessee, and Tarra became the first resident of The Elephant Sanctuary. “Buckley creates a compelling story of human-animal friendship (…a la Born Free or Free Willy) in which humans act as a fierce and stalwart support.” – Publishers Weekly Reading level: Young Adult |
