Description

From the first steps into the herd to the challenges of finding food, water, and safety, this vivid picture book explores what it truly means to learn how to be an elephant. Through the guidance of a close-knit family network, young elephants practice essential survival skills—while also discovering the social bonds that make the journey possible. Richly illustrated and grounded in real animal behavior, the story highlights themes of community, learning through observation, and resilience in the face of danger. Award-winning author-illustrator Katherine Roy brings the African savanna to life with warmth and wonder, inviting readers to see intelligence and care in the everyday work of growing up.
