Owen&Mzee

This is a little story about BIG LOVE. It is a true story of Owen and Mzee, a baby hippopotamus and 130 years old tortoise. After the 2005 Tsunami, Owen, the baby hippo, was orphaned. Wildlife rangers rescued him and brought him to the LaFarge Park in Mombasa, Kenya. There, Owen immediately adopted Mzee as his surrogate mother. Told in brilliant color illustrations, it's a wonderful story that teaches children about the resilience of love and life.
