From the award-winning author-illustrator Ed Vere comes a lyrical tale that reminds us all to chase our dreams.
Meet Gabriel. A young elephant who lives in a village by the sea.
He has one dream and it's to join the lifeboat crew. He wants to help people in the water, bravely sailing out to sea! But elephants don't fit in lifeboats. He's too big to help the sailors. But one STORMY, WINDY day, the lifeboat crew run into trouble and Gabriel might be the only one who can help. Can Gabriel save the day?
One growing elephant. One smallish lifeboat. One BIG dream . . .
'A charming winner about purpose, bravery, and making one's dreams come true.' - Kirkus Reviews
