Bandoola by William Gril
AD: Sponsored Post
Bandoola: The Great Elephant Rescue by William Grill is just further proof to my firmly held believe that picture books are for grown ups too. The importance on the ‘too’ because kids and adults alike will be enchanted by this one! But I thoroughly enjoyed sitting down and reading this with a cup of tea and no children around.
In equal parts astonishing, touching and ever so stylish, this is the true story of Bandoola, the pride of the jungle, and James Howard Williams, as known as Elephant Bill.
The coloured pencil illustrations are mesmerizing and the author having undertake research in the jungle of Myanmar is evident in the depth and detail of the artwork.
The emotions in this book are incredibly powerful and it has taken me several days to process this story. Bandoola’s story deserved an exceptional book: told with elegance, artistry and sensitivity. And this book does justice to that.
If you know someone with a love of elephants, or a story about adventure and bravery, then surely this is a perfect fit!
Happy reading,
