In this charming new children’s book, five-year-old Jonathan meets Neena the Baby Elephant while his family is vacationing in Phuket, Thailand.

Author Louisa Korschenko was inspired to write this true story whilst she was recuperating after Neena accidentally fell on her leg. The incident extended the family’s trip in Thailand and gave rise to her son’s growing relationship with the baby elephant. As the boy and the young elephant bond, Neena allows Jonathan to ride her, the very first person ever to do so!

This very special story is lovingly illustrated and shows just what happens when a little boy who loves animals meets an elephant who steals his heart.
