I Am Elephant

By Scott Russell

I Am Elephant is a beautifully illustrated children's picture book about family, courage, memory, and survival on the African savanna.

Told in simple, lyrical language and paired with full-page pastel artwork, the story follows a young elephant and the herd that protects, teaches, and guides her through drought, danger, hunger, and discovery. As the elephants search for food and water, young readers are invited into a world of deep feeling, intelligence, tenderness, and strength.

This book celebrates the emotional lives of elephants: their bonds, their wisdom, their communication, and their powerful sense of belonging. It is a gentle story for children, parents, teachers, and animal lovers who want a book that honors wildlife with respect and wonder.

A moving picture book for readers who love elephants, nature, family stories, and beautifully illustrated journeys.

Although inspired by the real lives, intelligence, communication, and family bonds of elephants, I Am Elephant is a work of fiction.

Inspired by real elephant behavior and the emotional lives of elephant families, I Am Elephant is a fictional story of courage, survival, and belonging. Perfect for young readers ages 4-10, parents, teachers, and anyone who loves elephants, wildlife, and beautifully illustrated nature stories.
