When an Elephant Falls in Love

Davide Cali's 'When an Elephant Falls in Love' is a gentle, contemplative story that beautifully illustrates the often-silly and deeply felt emotions associated with a first crush or falling in love.

This book is ideal for sparking conversations about emotions, relationships, and self-acceptance in young readers.

From the bestselling author of I Didn't Do My Homework Because... comes an irresistible meditation on the quest for connection. When an elephant falls in love, he does many foolish things. He hides when the elephant-object of his affection is around. He writes dozens of letters that he will never send. And he tries to be healthy, but ends up finishing the cheesecake. This soulful book is at once relatable and revealing, a reminder that love is worth striving for, and that the very best things in life will come to those who wait. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.
