Publisher Description
From talented illustrator Laura Bryant and gifted newcomer Aimee Reid comes a charming, heartwarming story about a little elephant's love for his mama.
"Mama, when I grow up, will you grow down?"
What would it be like if, one day, Little Gray were the big elephant and Mama the small one? Little Gray can picture it perfectly. He'd shade her from the sun, teach her to make mud, and find pictures in the clouds with her. In fact, he would do for her exactly what she does for him.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Reid's debut children's book, as a mother elephant and her calf stroll through the grasslands, Little Gray imagines the two of them switching places. " If I grew up and you were my calf.... I'd spend every day with you," he says. "I would be your calf and stay right by your side," his mother responds. Bryant's dewy, pastel palette fills the landscape as the elephants saunter along, acting out each of the scenarios that the calf entertains. " I could show you how to make mud,' said Little Gray. I know you'd be a good teacher,' Mama said." An abundantly sweet depiction of a child's gentle nudging for assurance. Ages 2 5.
