When Maya announces she wants to pick leaves for breakfast by herself, she tries everything (under the watchful eye of her mother), but the tree is very tall and she is such a little elephant. A lion, a bird, and a snake offer their services, but with some gentle help from her mother, Maya finally succeeds in doing it "all by myself." The expressive illustrations are full of whimsical details.
