The Elephant Doctor of India
by Janie ChodoshEarly on a January morning in 2015, a young bull elephant touched on a sagging electric line in the Paneri Tea Plantation in the Udalgari District of Assam, India. The elephant's soft-padded feet conducted the current, and the animal fell, kicking in the mud. The local veterinarian called to the scene thought the tusker was going to die. The forest department warden didn't agree. With proper treatment he believed the animal could survive. He called the one person who could help: Dr. Kushal Konwar Sarma, India's beloved elephant doctor.Dr. Sarma's story is part Jane Goodall, part Indiana Jones, and part Dr. Doolittle. The Elephant Doctor of India brings the middle-grade reader into the heart of Assam, a remote land of tea plantations, paddy fields, and ancient forests, to tell the true story of the last viable population of Asian elephants and one man who is dedicated to saving them. Author Janie Chodosh spent time with Dr. Sarma and brings his incredible story—and the lives of these magnificent animals—to readers in classrooms everywhere.
