Elephant’s favorite class is Music. She loves playing the French horn and performing with all her friends. But when Ms. Gator suggests that everyone perform a solo at the school concert, Elephant hesitates. The thought of performing alone makes her heart race and her stomach twist. Luckily, Elephant thinks of another way to perform a solo, one that allows her to shine alongside a full orchestra of her friends. Like Lone Wolf and Original Cat, Copy Cat, Sarah Kurpiel’s thoughtful, accessible text and expressive artwork make this an irresistible story about staying true to yourself and finding your own way to shine. Readers will applaud when Elephant gains confidence in herself and her talents. A wonderful choice for social and emotional learning, as well as storytime sharing.
