A beautifully illustrated story celebrating sibling relationships, encouraging patience and understanding as a little elephant learns what it truly means to be a big brother. The perfect gift for families to share.

When little Henry meets his new baby sister Celeste, he can't wait to show her everything he's already learned about being an elephant. But Celeste doesn't seem to be interested in Henry's lessons - she wants to explore and play!

As Celeste's curiosity leads them both away from the herd, the two little elephants find themselves lost and afraid. Can Celeste use what she's learned from her big brother to help get them to safety?

With stunning charcoal illustrations and a hint of yellow, Jo Weaver brings this heart-warming tale of love and friendship beautifully to life.

From the award-winning creator of Little One, Little Whale, Little Tigers and Bibi.
