The elephant and the piano Cover Image Book

The elephant and the piano / words by Colette Hiller ; pictures by Nabila Adani.

Hiller, Colette, (author.). Adani, Nabila, 1991- (illustrator.).

Summary:

"An incredible and uplifting true story about how music has healed troubled elephants in a sanctuary in Thailand. Some stories are true. Others are make-believe. And some true stories are so amazing that it seems they must be make-believe even when they are not... This is one of those stories. In a sanctuary in Thailand lived an elephant called Bonti. Short-tempered and destructive, Bonti was alone - the other elephants (and humans) knew to keep their distance. But when a musician came to play the piano for Bonti, something incredible happened... The Elephant and the Piano tells the spectacular true story of Paul Barton and the elephants who loved to hear him play"-- Provided by publisher.
