The Taru Book series includes children's and juvenile's books about a little boy, Joshua King, and his pet elephant, Taru, and how their faith in God gets them through various complicated life situations. The series is intended for children ages 6-12, providing them with a non-violent way to handle situations and to cope with life stressors.
