Herd
by Stephen Hogtun

A little elephant travels with his family, moving from place to place, experiencing different landscapes, meeting different animals. Other members of the herd seem content with their lot but the little elephant is puzzled. Will he ever be able to settle in one place? Where might he call home?

In stunning pictures we travel with the little elephant. As we turn the pages we come to understand, like him, that home isn't a place, but where we are with the ones who love us most. It's a charming, touching book in a warm palette. Just lovely!
