Thunder: An Elephant's Journey — Erik Daniel Shein

From the moment Thunder took his first step, it was clear that his footsteps would make quite an impression on the world around him.
The tiny elephant's life was pretty much perfect until one fateful night when poachers crept into it. In the cloak of darkness, they sprang on his herd separating him from his mother and the rest of the African pygmy herd. After a harrowing escape, Thunder must dig deep inside to find the courage to find his way home. With helpful friends and the watchful eye of the Great Tusker in the sky, Thunder's journey is the adventure of a lifetime.
