Little Big Ears: The Story of Ely

Front Cover
Simon & Schuster, 1997 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 34 pages
When Ely is born, he is unable to straighten his front legs. He cannot stand or walk, cannot reach his mother's milk or move out of the hot African sun. His mother and older sister won't give up on him and are determined that he will survive. Moss tells Ely's inspiring true story in simple prose while Martyn Colbeck's full-color photos capture the courageous little elephant's plight and triumph.
