Inhaltsangabe

The breathtaking graphic novel follow-up to Saving Sorya – Chang and the Sun Bear, winner of the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration

When Chang meets an elderly elephant named H’non, she makes a promise to rescue her from a lifetime of captivity. Together, they embark on a quest to find a new home where H’non can live as nature intended – wild and free.

Created by environmental activist Trang Nguyen – who was featured as one of the environmental heroes in episode eight of the BBC’s Planet Earth III – and award-winning manga artist Jeet Zdung, Saving H'non: Chang and the Elephant is an inspirational adventure, based on a true story, about a young conservationist who overcomes the odds to give H'non the elephant the life she deserves after 50 years of hardship.

Chang’s daring story is for any young reader, animal lover and intrepid explorer who’s ready for adventure!
