Life
fluctuates. Sometimes we’re happy. Sometimes we’re sad. Sometimes good,
sometimes bad. Sometimes we feel brave or scared or kind or mean.
But no matter how we are – how we’re feeling, how we behave… there are people in our lives who will love us, no matter what.
But no matter how we are – how we’re feeling, how we behave… there are people in our lives who will love us, no matter what.
In this
clever book combining opposites with unconditional love, Emma Dodd has created
a simple yet loving tale. The book’s minimum text belies its subtle messaging
and deeper meaning.
Dodd’s
illustrations featuring an elephant mum and her wee charge are engaging and
utterly adorable. Kids as young as the infant years will be drawn in by the
strong image outlines, the clever use of visual texture, punches of featured
colour, and the heart-warming smiling elephant faces.
Concise but
beautifully rhythmic text lends literary punch to an otherwise visually-driven
book. Lovely.
