A Hippo's Hope

From the watchful eyes of a wise Western Burrowing Owl comes the touching story of Hannah Shirley, a pygmy hippopotamus far from home. Once meant to roam the lush forests and cool rivers of West Africa, Hannah finds herself alone in a backyard-confused, uncomfortable, and out of place. But everything begins to change when a team of caring humans sees her for who she truly is: a wild animal deserving of freedom and proper care.
