Hip Hip Hooray for Elmer Day!
Elmer Day celebrates tolerance, kindness and self-respect. Schools, libraries and bookshops up and down the country will be championing David McKee’s wonderful Elmer stories which inspire children – and adults – to be both accepting of those who are different and accepting of our own unique qualities.
What will you do to celebrate? Here are some of the lovely Elmer books to get the festivities started.
Elmer
Do you ever worry about fitting in? Elmer the patchwork elephant really stands out; he looks like a walking rainbow! One day, he feels tired of being different so paints himself grey to blend in with his herd. How long do you think he can hide his true colours? (Clue: not long!)
The original! Even at 29 years old, David McKee’s true classic resonates now more than ever. Now includes a free audiobook download link
