"Small as an Elephant" by Jennifer Richard Jacobson follows the journey of a young boy named Jack who faces a life-changing challenge when he is unexpectedly abandoned by his mother in a national park. Armed only with his backpack and his love for elephants, Jack embarks on a quest to find his way home. Along the way, he navigates the complexities of his emotions, the memories of his mother, and the realities of survival. As he encounters various characters and learns vital lessons, Jack ultimately discovers the strength within himself and the importance of love and resilience.
