About this item
by Kimberly Puleo (Author)
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. Told through the perspective of an observant owl, this beautifully illustrated children's story introduces young readers to the importance of compassion, wildlife protection, and the dangers of keeping exotic animals as pets. Hannah's journey from captivity to sanctuary is a powerful reminder that every creature deserves a place where they can thrive. With a gentle and inspiring message, A Hippo's Hope encourages children to care for animals, learn from our mistakes, and stand up for the wild places we all depend on. Includes a special message for young readers about wildlife conservation and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
