Dear Elephant vibrantly interweaves Florina Falce’s letters to animals and Jane Bristowe’s distinctive linocuts to deliver an urgent message to the natural world. You’ll discover so much within the colorful pages of this small-book-with-a-big-heart: from whimsical, free-associating reflections on animals in their natural habitats; to interesting and uncommon details (did you know that elephants cry but don't have tear ducts?); to a call to reverse climate change and human overconsumption.
This surprising and engaging book makes the reader a participant in these letters, opening us up to the spirit of love and appreciation that inspired them—why else would there be a spot for us to draw our own ladybugs? In doing so, it infuses our lives with the sort of consciousness that's needed to reflect, educate ourselves, and love our world at this critical moment. Plus, it's fun to read and compelling to look at.
Falce begins her letters with a meaningful quote from Sir David Attenborough: “An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment." This sentiment speaks for and characterizes the writing and artwork that follows.

paperback. Etat : Good. Bristowe, Jane (illustrateur). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
