This book is inspired by the author's safari trip in Namibia in 2013. From an observation deck of a game reserve she captured the event of an elephant attempting to bully a hippo baby at the watering hole. The hippo mother bravely charged at the young elephant to save her baby. Alice Yen Yong has composed the event into a beautiful story book generously illustrated by the images. It is a book that readers of any age will pore over again and again to celebrate all mothers of the planet earth.
