When I was younger, I read a book from our local library, and cannot remember much about it, other than it started with a young elephant going to wash at the watering hole, being reminded to wash behind his/her ears, and coming back to find his family had been slaughtered by poachers for their tusks. This meant the young elephant had to go venture forth and find other elephants, maybe a cousins family?? It was a long eventful journey, and the only other part I remember clearly was that s/he met a snake in the jungle that had a bright blue tail that reminded them of the sky.
Anyone able to help track down this book?? I loved it, it was kind of between children’s and young adult style story (I think!). I would love to read it again! Thanks in advance
