A book for children and adults...
This is a lovely book both for its gently weaving story of a young boy and a lost elephant, and for the fine drawings of Fred Sodt. It moves like a real dream in a setting in time and place...Bellingham, Washington in the 1940s. Allen Frost is an accomplished poet and fiction writer, and he finds a home for his gifts in this gentle tale. It's a feat of magic to write for both youth and adults, one he may have learned from keeping a youthful spirit alive, one he may have fed from knowing the spirit of his own children. We can be thankful for it. This book is a real delight delivered with care from an independent small press, good deed rain.
