In the African savannah, a young elephant tells stories about his grandmother's life. When Grandma was younger, strange humans came with new sounds and machines that pumped clouds into the sky. As Grandma grew older, trees were cut down and carried away, fences were put up, and poachers' gunshots echoed across the plains. This book is a commentary on the conservation of the African savannah and African Elephants.
