For Why Elephants Cry and Pigs Sing:
Do animals feel love, sadness, joy, and friendship-just like we do?
An elephant remembers someone she loves. A mother pig sings her little ones to sleep. A dog bursts with happiness at the sound of familiar footsteps. Two playful rats tumble into a fit of giggles.
Across forests, farms, oceans, and wide-open skies, animals show us something beautiful: they can comfort, protect, share, play, forgive, and care for one another in ways that feel wonderfully familiar.
Why Elephants Cry and Pigs Sing is a warm, lyrical picture book that invites children to look closely at the animal world-and discover echoes of their own feelings in every paw, feather, snout, fin, and tail.
With gentle rhymes, playful sounds, and heart-filled animal moments, this story opens meaningful conversations about big emotions, empathy, friendship, love, loss, and kindness.
Perfect for children ages 4-8 and for:
Young animal lovers and curious minds
Families sharing thoughtful bedtime stories
Classrooms exploring emotions, empathy, friendship, and caring for others
Parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, and carers seeking a meaningful gift
A joyful celebration of the feelings that connect us all-because animals have big hearts too.
