Singing with Elephants

Cuban-born Oriol struggles to belong in 1947 Santa Barbara until poet Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American Nobel laureate in literature, moves to town and teaches her to express herself through words. When a baby elephant at her parents' veterinary clinic is threatened, Oriol must find the courage to speak up for it. This novel in verse is a lovely choice for students because it weaves real history, animal rescue, and the discovery of a writer's voice into one story.
