Patricia Mitchell Editorial Director, The Word Among Us Press and author of Living as a Beloved Daughter of God "Gigantic and gentle, Irene the elephant personifies the notion that, when one relies on God for guidance, weaknesses become strengths and hopeless situations become powerful moments of peace and possibility.
