From the award-winning team behind Feathers Together, Ida, Always, and This Way, Charlie comes a moving story of sibling love, inspired by a real-life elephant family
But as Ely grows more confident, he's ready for more adventures, and he feels squished by Enid's worries and rules. Enid is glad that he can run and play, but she's nervous he could get hurt-or that he won't 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.
Praise for Mighty Muddy Us
Sibling support and strong family relationships prevail. Nurtures encouragement, grit, and love.
Kirkus
The author’s strength, articulating trickier parts of the emotional terrain of relationships with empathy and care, helps deepen an understanding for the challenges of being an older, protective sibling given a helper role and then having to relinquish. This title offers guidance for caregivers and will be sought after where other titles in the series are popular.
