Illustrated by
Pamela Zagarenski.
A young girl imagines that her new next-door neighbor, Zola, already has a best friend: an elephant. Hesitant to say hello, the narrator finally finds the courage to overcome her shyness and discovers a new friend. Gorgeous, sweeping, dreamlike illustrations fill the pages, conjuring up the story's fantasy elements and providing readers with an enchanting invitation to add their own interpretations.
