Description
A mammoth NEW picture book from the award-winning Kim Hillyard about a woolly mammoth who overcomes her anxiety.
WINNER of the Best Illustrated Book in the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2023
One peaceful Tuesday morning, a loud CRACK could be heard as the last mammoth on earth broke free from her icy shell - here comes Gretel the Wonder Mammoth! Everyone is so excited to meet her but as she settles into her new life, Gretel starts to feel a little overwhelmed and even a bit lonely...
This positive, encouraging picture book teaches young readers that perhaps the bravest act a person (or mammoth!) can do is ask for help.
