"Loxo The Big-Hearted Elephant" Follows The Daily Adventures Of A Young Elephant And The Many Positive Interactions That Occur As They Search For Food And Friends

BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - s4story -- Today, Inspirebytes Omni Media announces the release of a new chapter book, Loxo the Big-Hearted Elephant, written by local author and conservationist Kate Thompson, PhD and illustrated by Laura Girling. In Loxo the Big-Hearted Elephant, we learn how one elephant's actions can benefit a wide variety of creatures, such as: impalas, ants, termites, oxpeckers, and dung beetles! Whether it's through dropped branches, removed bark, or the dung they leave behind, this playful story shows how important keystone species are for their environment.

Colorfully illustrated in Laura Girling's signature style and filled with fun facts throughout, we follow Loxo as they search for food throughout their day ultimately arriving at a bee-protected mango farm. There, we learn how humans can work in harmony with their environment through innovative methods.
