Synopsis
A heartwarming tale based on a true story. Owen, a baby hippo orphaned by the 2004 tsunami, arrives at a Kenyan nature preserve where relief workers hope to match him with a new mother. But Owen chooses his own RmotherS--a 130-year-old male tortoise named Mzee, who comforts Owen like no one else can. Full color., Owen the baby hippo and his mama were best friends. They loved to play hide-and-seek on the banks of the Sabaki River in Africa. That was all before the tsunami came and washed Owen's world away. But after the rain stops, Owen befriends Mzee, a grayish brown tortoise. He plays with him, snuggles with him, and decides he just might turn out to be his best friend and a brand-new mama. Inspired by the tsunami of 2004, acclaimed storyteller Marion Dane Bauer and celebrated illustrator John Butler depict this heartwarming true tale of healing, adoption, and rebirth -- with splendid illustrations and oodles of love.
