Shortly after he is born, Elbert floats up into the air. Before
long, his mother must stand on her tip toes to reach him and toss
toys into the air at playtime. While everyone in town, from the
school nurse to the mayor, is full of advice for keeping her boy
down, Elbert's mother knows her son is meant to float. And so, she
lets him. But as life becomes more and more difficult for a
floating boy, and people understand him less and less, Elbert has
to make a decision: Stay bound to the ground or float higher in the
hopes of finding the world - and community - he's always wished
for.
Cyril Squirrel asks lots of questions, but there's one thing that
really puzzles Cyril... "What is love? Can I find it? Keep it? Do I
need it?" With a notebook and a map, Cyril embarks on a quest to
find out about love. "Gone away to find out what love is. Back
soon." Helping children to learn about the ways that love can look,
sound or feel, this heart-warming picture book shows some of the
many different forms love, friendship and kindness take. Suitable
for all children aged 2-6, especially those who may have confused
ideas about love, Cyril's adventure includes guidance for adults on
how the book can be read with children.
