If you haven’t read the book Owen and Mzee, you’re missiong out! It’s a wonderful, real-life story about a hippopotamus and an Aldabra tortoise who become friends despite their differences. Owen, a baby hippo, was separated from his family during a horrible tragedy and turns to Mzee for help. This is a great book to help students understand diversity, resiliency, and other important issues.
Owenandmzee.com has real-life pictures of Owen and Mzee in their home in Kenya. It also has some great resources for students, teachers, and parents.
