Baby elephant narrates this picture book about him and his mama, after all he has “known her for the whole of his life”.

He loves playing with his mom, going shopping with her, pushing her on the swing and enjoying being around her.

Mom in turn loves playing with his toys, carrying him about in her shopping bag and swinging him around when she gets angry, but she never lets him go.

A great mother and baby story with parenting sh kills that are to be envied.

The illustrations of mother and baby elephant are excellent and there is a running theme of the stars. Read it and see what it is.
