Mike Wohnoutka.
A young elephant follows her family, led by matriarch Bibi, across the parched land in search of water. Little Tembo strays frequently, but female family members swoop in to rescue her when she gets too far behind. The plodding text is balanced by warm, evocative illustrations of the African savannah and its animals. An author's note explains elephants' family dynamics.
