We’re excited to exclusively reveal the cover for a new children’s non-fiction title from Charlotte Guillain and Sam Usher. Publishing Sept 30th, What the Elephant Heard is a heartfelt and lyrical ode to Africa’s majestic giants and the challenges they face in our changing world.

Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture book follows the story of a herd of African elephants as they journey across the parched savannah in search of a waterhole.

The Matriarch tells of all the sounds of the savannah, and how the landscape has changed over the years. Still, she remembers where to find water, just as her mother did before her.

Accompanying non-fiction pages at the end of the book includes extra information about African elephants, the challenges of habitat loss and poaching, how rangers and elephant orphanages are helping and what we can do to help.

Pre-order What the Elephant Heard from Amazon or Bookshop.Org.
