Bumoni's Banana Trees
by Mita Bordoloi & Tarique Aziz
As more and more land is diverted for human use, room for animals is shrinking. Being the largest land animals, elephants are most vulnerable. This delightful story takes young readers to the lush green surroundings of the Kaziranga National Park in India, where a herd of wild elephants has been devouring little Bumoni's banana trees. Bumoni’s family is very upset – how do they keep the elephants away? Then, she has an idea! But what will the elephants eat now? Tarique Aziz’s spare but dramatic pictures create mood and atmosphere in this affectionately told story, of a family's sustainable relationship with the environment – and elephants!
