Gorgeous illustrations capture all the different ways a baby elephant can behave but, whatever happens, its mother is there to love it. A perfect book for encouraging children to do what they want with the reassuring that they will still be loved and protected.
Illustrated in her appealing iconic style, in Sometimes... a mother elephant assures her child that no matter what he does and who he is, she loves him unconditionally.
Emma Dodd was brought up in a family of artists and from as far back as she can remember she has wanted to be an illustrator. I Love My Mummy, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Emma, won the Booktrust award in 2010. Among Emma’s favourite things in life are surfing with her kids, punctuality and Scrabble. Things she cannot abide include heights, pate and children who complain that they are bored. ‘How can you ever be bored,’ she says, ‘when you can always draw a picture?’ Emma lives in Surrey.
