What does Elijah love most about nature?

Elijah loves to hear the birds chirping. He loves to be by the lake and fish. He loves when he gets to see a bear near their campsite when they go camping. Elijah is the oldest of 6 siblings, so he gets to be a leader, and loves protecting his sisters and brothers on their camping trips.


What is Elijah's favorite animal—and why?

Elijah loves snakes and turtles the most. He likes to watch them go into their shells. He likes to collect the eggs from his chickens, and has tamed a few roosters with his gentle character. His resilience is amazing! His favorite animal is an elephant although he's never been close to one besides the zoo.
