These books combine my love for people who are different (our heroine is deaf), the environment, and animals. The Laehli & the Elephants series is about love, friendship, compassion, and acceptance. Kids see enough that make them frightened about the future; these books show that when we work together in love and friendship, we can overcome anything.
