This is the story of a curious young elephant called Ely, who is always asking his dad questions.
'Dad, why is the sky blue?' , and many more similar questions, which his dad is happy to answer.
One day Ely asks, 'Dad, what is the meaning of life?', a question that his dad struggles to answer.Â
Dad encourages Ely to go on a journey of discovery into the jungle, to see if any of the other animals can give him a satisfactory answer to his question. As he encounters different animals, he soon discovers that each has a different opinion and philosophy of life. Which one is correct and what can he learn from each of them?
He then meets the wise old owl, who helps him to come to a better understanding of the opinions of the other animals, and also helps to steer him into a direction that appears to make more sense.
The book will naturally encourage the reader to ask questions, and help develop their understanding of Ely's question and the potential answers that follow.
