A gorgeous and uplifting story about love, family and the meaning of home.
This is the story of one brave little elephant, who roams with his family across grasslands and forests and streams. But what does home mean when you move from place to place each day?
Can this little elephant find his home in the world? Maybe, just maybe, home is not a place, but his herd: the ones who love him best.
Filled with beautiful, luminous artwork, this gorgeous picture book tells a universal story about love, family and belonging that will resonate with readers across the generations.
