When an Elephant Falls in Love

32 pp. | Chronicle | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-4727-7 $14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alice Lotti. An elephant suffers the pangs of love, including all the indecisiveness and agony of wondering whether the object of his affection (eventually revealed to be a female elephant) notices his heartfelt gestures or even realizes he exists. While conceptually a story that will most likely resonate more with adults, the book's playful, minimalist text and illustration style may appeal to young children.
