Twitter summary: “[Frankie] shows me again and again what an amazing leader and teacher she is, and how she lives every day with compassion, insight and kindness, […] to remind me that I have nothing to be afraid of.” — Chapter 27, Frankie vs Frankie
The good: I have beautifully fond memories of my travel to South Africa and so, I was immediately swept away in Françoise’s story and Thula Thula. These are the people who help make the world go round, the compassionate human beings helping to keep the world a better place. I won’t lie, it was heartbreaking to read about poaching and how much these wild animals have suffered. How we are directly influencing their well being without a care. I loved the anecdotes about the herd throughout the book. There’s beauty to the world and many lessons to learn. I am always in awe of Mother Nature.
The bad: The timelines jump around a bit from chapter to chapter but readers can easily put the events in order chronologically.
Recommendation: Yes and I want to read The Elephant Whisperer now.
