Un libro lleno de color, impreso en papel de piedra, que invita a los lectores a creer en el poder de la imaginación y a ser creativos.En la escuela, los niños del bosque se divierten descubriendo los nombres de selvas lejanas, saltando en el patio con sus compañeros, aprendiendo nuevas canciones. Doña Libélula, la maestra, pidió a sus alumnos que dibujaran un elefante como deberes.
