An inspiring story of bullying, acceptance and inclusion by award-winning author and illustrator team.
This short story tells of a girl's attempts to fit in at a new school, despite not being accepted by the other children. Nicola Davies's heart-warming text about inclusion is accompanied by brilliant illustrations by Cathy Fisher.
A child starts a new school in a strange new town. The children in her class are hostile towards her and unhappy about the stranger in their midst, refusing to talk to or include her. The girl's response is to create something beautiful that transforms their attitude towards her and their vision of themselves and their own lives in this inspiring story.

I was waiting for surgery on my shoulder and having treatment to control the pain. On the wall of the therapists treatment room was a beautiful picture of a child, sleeping behind a curtain embroidered with elephants. It was an exquisite image which demonstrated a very high level of skill, insight and sensitivity. The artist was a friend of the therapist who put us in touch. Were met in a cafe and within half an hour were already friends and collaborators. Cathy and I now live within ten miles of each other and can hatch books at will!
