Some things you can give and not lose any, like happiness, love and colour.
In Elmer the patchwork elephant's chunky, rainbow-shaped board book, Elmer helps the animals put the colours back into a mysterious pale rainbow by giving some of his own colours away in an act of kindness and love.
A perfect introduction to the classic Elmer and the Rainbow story for the very youngest readers, with an abridged text of the best-loved tale.
David McKee (1935 - 2022) was the creator of well-known characters including King Rollo, Mr Benn and Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, which is now published in more than 60 languages and has its own successful global merchandise programme. David was born in Devon and went to Plymouth Art College, where he had a traditional training. On leaving college he drew regularly for Punch, Reader’s Digest, and The Times Educational Supplement. His drawings were influenced especially by Saul Steinberg and Andre Francois. In 2020, David won the British Book Awards Illustrator of the Year Award and BookTrust’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
