But together, Shamba and Kali brave poachers, out-of-control fires, and savage dogs in one of the wildest places on earth: Africa's Serengeti region. And just when their struggles appear to be over, they find themselves fighting pirates aboard a ship bound for America. Can they survive their toughest battle yet?

Or will their incredible journey come to a heartbreaking end? "The lessons and morals of my story directly translate to both the human and animal worlds," explains Behrens.

It's all brought to life through stunning illustrations by Kim Johnson." Savanna's Treasure was favorably reviewed in Kirkus Reviews, which called it a "story enriched by an inspiring animal alliance...a good fit for early readers."(展開)
