About: Chizi's Tale. Based on a true story of an orphaned black rhino

On an August day, in Zimbabwe, a newborn black rhino lost his mother. Black rhinos are critically endangered. Knowing that the calf would not survive without help, a park ranger made an astonishing decision: he took the rhino home. Chizi’s Tale is the story of how one of Africa’s fiercest animals was raised by a remarkable family until it was time to return him to the wild.

Jack Jones was a high school senior in Connecticut, USA, when he wrote Chizi's Tale. Jack's family visited southern Africa every summer, and it was through these trips that he learnt the importance of preserving and protecting wildlife and the environment. He is currently studying at Stanford University, where he hopes to receive a bachelor's degree in human biology.

Jacqili Taylor lives in Zimbabwe. She has written and illustrated a number of children's books, including An African ABC, A Hong Kong ABC, A Baobab is Big and The Queen of Green, and has illustrated Kubuka and the Magic Calabash, written by Janet Keegans, and Namakwa's Garden, written by Mary Clanahan.
