Jane\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Anna Merz traveled to East Africa, she became appalled at the rampant poaching that took place there, specifically toward the black rhinoceros. Anna devoted her life to protecting the wildlife of the region, founding a reserve in Kenya called Lewa Downs to care for them. Anna kept a watchful eye on the animals, especially the rhinos. One day, Anna found a small black rhino calf, likely abandoned by its mother. So she nurtured the calf, named it Samia, fed it special formula, and even let it sleep in her bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverywhere Anna went, Samia was never far behind. The two became so close, in fact, that Anna soon learned how rhinos communicate with one another. Anna was able to distinguish the rhino's many different grunts and what she meant by them: \"Snort! Snuff,\" cried Samia (\"This is fun!\"); \"Hoo-hoo-hoo!\" she called (\"I'm coming!\"). But with time, Samia got bigger . . . and bigger . . . and bigger - to the point where she couldn't fit inside Anna's house any longer. It was time for Anna to make the tough decision she always knew she would have to make at some point or another: She would need to reintroduce Samia to the wild so she could lead her life with the rest of her kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated with pen, ink, and watercolours, Daniel Kirk's first nonfiction picture book brings awareness to wildlife protection and fosters further understanding of animal rescue and welfare, positioned in a sensitive way that's appropriate for young readers. Kirk traveled to Kenya to see the reserve firsthand and his photographs grace the back matter, which includes an author's note and bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46996023935212,"sku":"9781419723162","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781419723162.jpg?v=1763122356"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/daniel-kirk.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
