Memory and meaning are at the heart of this oversized, content-rich picture book celebrating the life of Marcel, a soulful elephant. From the towering buildings outside his window and his recollected world travels, to the friends, flora and fauna that flourish around him, Marcel finds significance in his surroundings and, most importantly, in life's abundant details. Marcel is writing an encyclopaedia, after all and his entries are featured in full-page spreads packed with facts, elegantly situated alongside the story of his day and his life.
Part story and part miscellany, this unforgettable book with dream-like illustrations will transfix both parents and children.
