A Financial Times Best Children’s Book of 2021: “This picture book about sadness features an elephant who is blue both literally and figuratively. The contrast between him and his happier animal friends comes through in both the understated text and the richly colored images. Sorrow, we learn, can’t always be remedied but can be understood.” —Financial Times
