Set in the breathtaking Eastern Cape of South Africa, Friends of the Bush is a tender and captivating children's story that follows Elna, a wise and gentle elephant, on her path to healing, trust, and friendship. Once fearful and reactive from past traumas, Elna learns to feel safe again with the help of Neo, a kind guide, and begins reconnecting with others on the reserve.
As Elna visits the watering hole, she meets a diverse group of animal friends-some playful, some cautious, and others still learning to trust. Through patience, shared stories, and gentle encouragement, the animals explore how to feel safe in uncertain times.
Created by two trauma therapists, this story beautifully weaves themes of emotional safety, connection, and resilience. Rich with cultural, ecological, and therapeutic elements, it offers children and caregivers a meaningful way to talk about feelings, relationships, and recovery. With vibrant illustrations and engaging characters inspired by real South African wildlife, Friends of the Bush is a heartfelt resource for young readers, therapists, and families alike.

About the Author
Karli L. Coverdale M.S.Ed., LMHC, BCBA/LBA is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Registered Play Therapy Supervisor(TM), EMDRIA Certified Therapist(TM), and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Karli has been a mental health professional for over ten years, specializing in working with young children and adults using the healing powers of play. Karli is passionate about relational dynamics that allow those she encounters to feel seen, secure and understood. Karli prides herself in continually evolving as a professional and creating spaces to better understand the perspective, identities, cultures and experiences of others- essential to their process of becoming. At the same time, Karli recognizes that, for many, the experiences that influence development can serve as a catalyst in discovering who they truly would like to be. Karli is a first-time author, making her debut with Friends of the Bush and accomplishing a personal goal of writing a children's book. Born, raised and residing on Long Island, New York, Karli spends her days helping others seek healing and providing relationship-focused behavior change through clinical practice, supervision and consultation. So much of Karli's work focuses on impacting the lives of those she encounters and she is hopeful that this book will be no different.
Saidi Alifa is a children's book illustrator from Blantyre, Malawi. He sees the picture book as the perfect canvas for the kind of art he loves: narrative, expressive, and full of life. Drawing inspiration from oil painting, Saidi's illustrations combine character design, world-building, and careful craftsmanship, shaped in part by his background in civil engineering. That training continues to influence his structured, thoughtful approach to client work and planning. His artistic influences include Loish and Patrick Brown, both of whom shaped his passion for dynamic, character-driven art. For Saidi, drawing is pure joy, and he hopes every story he works on helps children see a part of themselves in the characters, environments, and emotions on the page. When not drawing, he's either cycling or reading a book.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
