1Gemma and her elephant friend Scarlet love making visitors feel welcome around the Rescue Ranch. You are personally invited to come experience the safe haven many animals call their forever home. You may even make a few new friends along the way. The Rescue Ranch is the first short story children's picture book in this series written and illustrated by this author. The book is an easy reader book for those that haven't yet started reading chapter books, but for those that can read on their own. Fictional, yet educational The Rescue Ranch gives an introduction into the world of animal sanctuary. Small descriptors of each animals behavior or habitat is depicted into the story. Vibrant hand illustrated pictures give this short story a uniqueness for even the young at heart.
