Publisher's Synopsis
Just how did a noble denizen of the African animal world become the tragic casualty of its own proud tusks? How I Became a Dragon is the deeply affecting work of fiction by conservationist Heatha that charts the course of ivory trafficking from the fierce assault on the elephant to its ultimate destination as a carved piece of ivory. Told from the point of view of the elephant that has lost its life for the sake of those grand tusks, this chilling look at illegal poaching is certain to move readers to do their part to end this vicious crime. The story also reveals how many individuals participate in the journey for one illicit piece of ivory, whether in a large or small way, and how one act of lawless poaching greatly impacts the global elephant community.
