About Elmer the Patchwork Elephant
Start your Elmer experience by reading the classic picture book by David McKee, celebrating 35 years of friendship and acceptance in 2024!
The grey elephants all love him, but Elmer soon starts to wonder what it would be like to be just the same as them. Find out how Elmer learns to love his and the herd’s true colours in this beloved children’s classic.
You can pick up a copy of Elmer in all good bookshops, including Waterstones, WHSmith and Camilla’s Bookshop as well as online, or why not go to your local library and find Elmer there!
