From author Caron Levis and New York Times bestselling illustrator Charles Santosoβthe award-winning team behind Feathers Together; Ida, Always; and This Way, Charlieβcomes Mighty Muddy Us, a moving, full-color picture book story of sibling love, inspired by a real-life elephant family.
The moment he is born, Ely delights in the welcoming trumpets of his adoring big sister, Enid. She is so excited to playβbut Elyβs legs are injured and itβs hard for him to move. To help keep Ely safe, Enid sticks close to her determined brother as they grow together through the seasons, trunk-twirling, mud-wallowing, and making silly sounds!
But as Ely grows more confident, heβs ready for more adventures, and he feels squished by Enidβs worries and rules. Enid is glad that he can run and play, but sheβs nervous he could get hurtβor that he wonβt need his big sister anymore. When a drought threatens the whole family, Ely shows what he is capable of, and both he and Enid discover that whether they are helping or playing, dusty or muddy, siblings are mighty special.
