Poe Won't Go

A funny, heartwarming picturebook by New York Times best-selling creators Kelly DiPucchio and Zachariah OHora, about an elephant who will not move, townspeople who really wish he would, and a young girl who shows them how to listen.

When an elephant plants himself in the road and refuses to move, the people of Prickly Valley try all sorts of methods to get him to go-but one thoughtful little girl works up the courage to do what no one else has done: ask him.

Balancing both hilarity and sensitivity, Poe Won't Go has the feel of a contemporary classic, reminding readers that there is power in one, power in listening, and power in being a friend.
