HarperCollins Publishers Wheres the Elephant
Book SynopsisA visionary picture book from the genius of Barroux, which pairs a beautiful wordless storytelling experience with a powerful message.What starts as a game of jungle hide-and-seek quickly turns into something more significant as Barroux's illustrations convey the consequences of deforestation upon the animal kingdom.Barroux adopts the familiar Where's Wally?' search-and-find format to introduce young readers to environmental issues, but as the forest begins to disappear, elephant becomes easier to spot. Where's the Elephant? is a deeply poignant read remniscent of Benji Davies's The Storm Whale and is devastating in its simplicity.

The crown is everything that gives us unique value. Our crown will always be with us wherever we go, whatever we do.Trade Review...this is soothing, visually attractive, and makes for a comforting bedtime read-aloud. "Booklist" Tillman adds another dreamy volume to her collection of self-esteem-building titles. "School Library Journal" Parents and grandparents will love to read this aloud to their little ones... "Kirkus Reviews" There's something magical about the idea of intimacy with wild animals; spreads in which Tillman imagines such interactions, like the cover image of the child asleep astride a zebra, have special power, especially as they're rendered with photograph-like verisimilitude. "Publishers Weekly" Nancy Tillman returns to the theme that she celebrated in her poetic essay book "On the Night You Were Born"--every child is special and beloved. While the re-iterated affirmations on each page may seem a bit much for the less sentimental types, there is no question that Tillman's message is one that young children need to hear.
