About the Book Lumpy the Elephant is treated as an outcast by the other toys, because he is so much bigger and less agile than they are. They never include him in their games and this makes him feel lonely and sad. There comes a day, however, when Lumpy’s companions find themselves in serious trouble. To their surprise they discover that Lumpy is the only one who can help them out of their predicament and, consequently, they gain a whole new respect for him. This is a charming story that shows how a person’s unique qualities and abilities, can often go unnoticed.

About the Author Diana M. Hawkins originally wrote this story when she was a young military wife and her two older daughters were just toddlers. Their own children are now that age. Diana grew up in Zimbabwe and the character, Lumpy, was inspired by her life-long, love of elephants. She left Africa in the 1970s and settled in the United States, pursuing a career as a journalist and environmental writer. The characters Gilbert and Gertie were inspired by the home -made toys she created for her little girls out of fabric scraps. This is her first children’s book.

Reviews NEW!

Lumpy the Elephant is a fun and inspiring story for pre-schoolers and kids in the lower grades.  The brightly colored illustrations bring the book's characters to life.  In an environment where kids are sometimes unappreciated by their peers, this story shows how an individual can gain renewed respect, when his or her unique qualities come to light.  My kids love  it.
