About This Book
Crunch, crunch, crunch — the soft leaves crackle under tiny feet in the vast Amazon Rainforest. A little pygmy elephant, smaller than all the others, gazes up at the towering trees, dreaming of a world above the forest floor. Though the others laugh and say he can’t, his heart beats with a hope so big it can’t be ignored.
