Star the Elephant: Surviving the Wild 2

Description

Hi! I'm Star and I'm an elephant. There isn't enough food left on my island, so my herd has to split up. But the world out there is so big! Soon I am lost and alone, facing giant spiders and a big, wild ocean and the scariest thing of all ... humans! Will I ever see my family again? This inspiring series offers the perfect introduction for young readers to the wonders and perils of the natural world - and how we can all do our part to protect it.

'Remy Lai's picture stories are enchanting, even as they detail serious issues about wildlife survival in today's world. The characters in her first two books of the series, Rainbow the Koala and Star the Elephant, are youngsters facing a challenging world, and they are easy to like...' Wildlife Australia magazine 'Brisbane author-illustrator Remy Lai...has quite a following among young readers with her graphic novel-prose hybrid books...An avid animal-lover, Lai has now created a new graphic novel series, Surviving the Wild...Each book deals with climate change and the environmental issues facing different animal species, but Lai balances the perils with a certain hopefulness...There's a nice sense of nuance; Lai underscores that while humans can sometimes be "bad guys", they are also able to make change and save animal species.'
