** Age 4+ with Parental Guidance
We have created Eka’s story for parents like you who are deeply concerned about endangered species and want to educate and sensitize their children about the plight of animals from an early age on. Poaching is the main reason rhinos are endangered. Eka’s story only includes three scenes showing the mother rhino without her horns and these were created with the input of many parents, so as to be acceptable for little children. We believe that these scenes, though emotional, are no more upsetting than scenes from Bambi, which we all saw when we were little, accompanied by our parents. We hope you agree and take your children on this special journey. Thank you.
* If you would like to preview the three scenes, please visit www.ekarhino.com and choose parental guidance *
