The effort fails until the very last young Who, called Jo-Jo, joins in. In the end, as the dust speck is about to be destroyed in the "beezlenut stew," all the Who's in Who-ville gather together and yell at the same time in order to make their voices heard. Horton nevertheless risks his life to guard the dust speck, and repeats the phrase that has since become well known: "A person's a person no matter how small." None of the other jungle animals believe that Horton is protecting real people, however, because they can't see or hear them. The jungle elephant Horton has excellent hearing that alerts him to the presence of the people, and he promises to protect them from danger.

As the sixth novel in this series by author Laura Beers, this story concludes the Proper Regency Matchmakers series. As Emma’s carefully constructed walls come down, she must face her own fears and decide what true love is worth. What she doesn’t anticipate is enjoying, and even looking forward to, each moment she spends with the maddening lord. When Isaac asks her for a favor, Emma reluctantly agrees, hoping it will benefit them both. Isaac vows to do right by his sister, but his father stands in the way of every decision he makes. After Isaac, Lord Preston, takes over managing his family’s estates, he discovers a secret about his disowned sister that his father has managed to keep hidden for years. She’d sooner become a spinster than have her life controlled by a man, especially one as infuriating as Lord Preston.

We told everyone we knew to tell everyone they knew to vote for it. We got screeners handed out at every animation event we could find.
