Saving H'non Chang and the Elephant by Nguyen Thi Thu Trang

Saving H'non Chang and the Elephant by Nguyen Thi Thu Trang

A moving and inspirational graphic-novel style picture book about a young environmental activist's quest to rescue an elephant from a lifetime in captivity

Packed with Zdung’s breathtaking traditional manga illustrations, which use pencils, watercolours, ink and other digital devices to create works of beauty and innovation, this moving graphic novel provides inspiration for all young conservationists who have ambitions of their own to help endangered wildlife around the globe-- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Post *
The manga-esque illustrations—including Chang’s notes about the flora and fauna of Yok Dôn—are lush and informative, rewarding close examination. Fans of Saving Sorya (2021) will be gratified to see Chang continue to fight for the animals she loves. The empathy and perseverance on display make this as beautiful an animal rights book as readers will ever see. * Kirkus *
An exceptionally well-done story that is informative, intricately and delightfully detailed, and brimming with jaw-dropping art. Highly recommended. * School Library Journal *
