Our Review Panel says...

Filled with detailed artwork portraying different African animals in their natural environment, this picture book tells the story of a girl called Jamina who likes to play at pretending to be a hunter. One day she discovers an elephant in distress and sees first hand the devastating effect on the natural world caused by poachers. This is a beautifully illustrated picture book with a thought-provoking message at its heart.
