ABOUT THE BOOK

Parvati the elephant has an important role to play in the temple, and she’s very
excited about doing it. But sometimes unexpected things can get in the way of a
crucial task.
Will Parvati be able to complete the job that she has set out to do?
Parvati the Elephant’s Very Important Day shares a universal story about duty,
responsibility, and success. Structured as a rhyming picture book, Parvati
showcases Kerala temple traditions by narrating a day in the life of a temple
elephant.
Elephants, despite their magnificent girth and size, are gentle, and highly intelligent
animals who balance the ecosystem. These pachyderms have been preyed on for
years and are in danger of extinction.
