But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes. In the tradition of timeless classics such as Charlottes Web and Stuart Little. Katherine Applegates novel blends humor and poignancy to create this incredible tale of friendship, art, and hope.
