Aanika’s Elephants is the tender story of a young Kenyan girl who meets a baby elephant at the animal orphanage where her father works. They grow together the way only two young girls can, even if one has a trunk. Their story is one of compassion, love, and conservation. Aanika’s Elephants entertains and educates audiences young and old on the plight of the elephant and our world.
