While waiting for Mama to come, I walked through the most dangerous crocodile pond, helping Brother Postman to deliver a package on time.
Why hasn't Mama arrived yet? Little Blue Elephant finds creative ways to make the waiting time fulfilling. Our playful hero evades crocodiles, directs traffic, discovers an island, befriends a chameleon, and makes parachutes out of leaves.
Many parents today often have no choice but to pick up their children after work. Reflecting on her own childhood, during which she often found herself waiting, author Hsiaochi Chang says, "Although I often felt powerless, I somehow kept learning how to survive by finding fun ways to cope. The more I played, the more I forgot why I was frustrated."
Chang’s whimsical illustrations and inventive storytelling suggest that a child’s greatest superpower is their imagination.
