Pooja het olifantenmeisje - P. Marske

Pooja, het olifantenmeisje is een kleurrijk fotoboek. Het is het verhaal van de kleine blonde Pooja, die de ene helft van het jaar in Hamburg woont en daar naar school gaat, en de andere helft van het jaar met haar ouders in India woont. Daar leeft zij in de buurt van een nationaal park, waar olifanten in de vrije natuur leven. Het inmiddels achtjarige 'Mowgli-meisje' is zo vertrouwd met de reusachtige dieren dat zij met hen baadt en speelt en zich zelfs laat kietelen door hun slurf.

Dit uitzonderlijke verhaal hebben de ouders van Pooja vastgelegd in prachtige en levensechte beelden. Het is een ontroerende documentaire geworden over een meisje en haar sprookjesachtige leven in het oerwoud; rijk en inspirerend, een parabel over het verlangen naar een vrij leven.
Een kleurrijk boek dat jong en oud zal vertederen!
