From the award-winning team behind Feathers Together, Ida, Always,
and This Way, Charlie comes a moving story of sibling love, inspired
by a real-life elephant family
The moment he is born, Ely delights in the welcoming trumpets of his
adoring big sister, Enid. She is so excited to play--but Ely's legs are
injured and it's hard for him to move. To help keep Ely safe, Enid
sticks close to her determined brother as they grow together through the
seasons, trunk-twirling, mud-wallowing, and making silly sounds!
But as Ely grows more confident, he's ready for more adventures, and he
feels squished by Enid's worries and rules. Enid is glad that he can run
and play, but she's nervous he could get hurt--or that he won't need his
big sister anymore. When a drought threatens the whole family, Ely shows
what he is capable of, and both he and Enid discover that whether they
are helping or playing, dusty or muddy, siblings are mighty special.
