Four short chapters feature Kate, an elephant child, and her extended family. The sunny illustrations picture Kate's varied responses: being scared after breaking a decorative pot, being angry at having her artwork misidentified, and feeling sad when her grandmother leaves. The accessible format and sympathetic character will appeal to emergent readers.
