Amari's Big Surprise... It's not Monkey Bread

by Patti Bonesteel

Overview

Amari, a young savanna elephant, loves spending time with her mom. Sometimes her mom surprises her with little gifts like mangoes and figs. So, when her mom suggests a BIG surprise is coming, Amari gets very excited. Amari is hoping for monkey bread, but gets a surprise she wasn't expecting.

Mom happily tells Amari she is going to be a big sister. However, Amari is not happy with the surprise, and the thought of losing sharing time with Mom. Feeling Amari's concern, Mom lovingly shares stories of Amari; from the day she was born to who she is now.

With facts about Amari and the other elephants in the herd, Mom paints a beautiful story of how love works in her BIG family.
