Elmer is different. Elmer is patchwork. Elmer is yellow and orange and red and pink and purple and blue and green and black and white.
The grey elephants all adore Elmer and love to laugh with him, but he soon begins to wonder what it would be like to blend in and look just like the rest of the herd. When he sneaks off to paint himself elephant-grey with jungle berries, Elmer learns a heartwarming lesson about self-acceptance and the joy of being true to who you are.
Written and illustrated by David McKee, this globally beloved modern classic has delighted generations of children since 1989.
