Why read it?

1 author picked Saving H'Non as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This graphic novel was not only moving, but it also helped me to get a deeper understanding of the business of elephant riding for tourists.

I knew that this was a terrible practice, but learning all the details about how these magnificent creatures are treated made me feel that I want to help promote awareness about alternatives, like elephant-friendly tours.

This book captivated me from the beginning, and the illustrations are some of the most beautiful I have seen in graphic novels. I loved how so much fascinating information was woven into the story, making it entertaining and educational.
