Catherine Poarch’s Inside Elephant captures the spirit of empathy and wonder that poetry can inspire in young minds. Her poems look at the natural world through a child’s eyes, yet never talk down to the reader. The book is beautifully illustrated by Emma Weston, whose artwork perfectly complements Poarch’s vision—gentle, imaginative, and full of warmth.
