She's younger than Babar, shyer than Lily, and every bit as cute as Olivia. Look out! Here's ELLA! Read along to this heart-warming tale of acceptance and help kids build important reading skills!
Ella's counting the days until the first day of school ... but not because she's eager to start! On the contrary, as the littlest elephant on Elephant Island, she's terribly nervous about the other kids she'll meet. Then she receives a beautiful red hat that belonged to her grandmother -- her new lucky charm. Big mean Belinda at school teases her for it, calling her "Ella the Elegant Elephant." But Ella's brave enough to hold on to her hat, and in the end, the hat (and her heart) save the day.

作者簡介：

Ella the Elegant Elephant is the brainchild of the husband-and-wife team, Carmela and Steven D'Amico. Steven, with a strong interest in illustration, and Carmela, with a background in writing, had wanted to work together on a children's book project for years, even before they were married. Carmela explains, “I was striving for something substantial enough to stand alone as a story, but would also serve to showcase Steven's talents.” The idea of Ella the Elephant came to Carmela in a dream, and the couple developed the stories from there.
