A Beautiful Blue Elephant Day
In the second book in the series the blue elephant, her father, and the little girl discover beauty in several ways (butterflies, water showers, sunsets, and stars). Through their playful interactions the blue elephant and her father show the little girl the true meaning of beauty, which reaches well beyond how you look and how you dress.
Discovering My Blue Elephant Talents (working title)
In the third book the little girl struggles with being able to do certain things well. She is at that tender age when all children want to be more proficient and generally better at things. Working together her father and the blue elephant help the little girl realize that she has many wonderful talents that are not always obvious to her. For example, she often makes her father laugh and smile.
