who?

“Even though you can't see them or hear them at all,
a person's a person, no matter how small!"
A courageous elephant, a tiny speck and Whoville turned upside down... "Horton Hears A Who" delivers an adventure of silly fun with important messages on life, faith and purpose.

Kids of all ages (that's me) learn that if we just listen and follow our heart, good things can happen. Our bumbling, yet lovable, Horton thinks he hears a call for help. His compassion leads to confirmation that the Whos were in trouble and needed his help. For a while he's on his own because no one believes him... "if you can't see, hear or feel something, it doesn't exist!" But Horton knows the speck is special and he holds the fate of Whoville on a clover wrapped in his elephant trunk. Horton's new sense of purpose encourages him through ridicule and danger because "I meant what I said and I said what I meant: An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent!"

The Whos yell out "We're here!!!" so the world can hear and all of Whoville is safe because an elephant in a jungle took the time to listen and answer a cry for help. Now the Mayor's 96 daughters can again share one bathroom, whatever that is?
