Reach for this book when your child is feeling clumsy, frustrated by their own physical development, or struggling with a 'trick' they can't quite master yet. It is the perfect choice for a little one who feels out of sync with their peers or siblings, providing a gentle reminder that everyone grows at their own pace. The story follows Blessu, a small elephant with a very large problem: he cannot stop sneezing because he has not yet figured out how to use his trunk properly. Dick King-Smith uses humor and warmth to explore themes of resilience and family support. As Blessu navigates the tickly challenges of being a young elephant, parents will find a wonderful opening to discuss how practice and patience lead to growth. It is a comforting, funny read for children aged 3 to 6 who are in that transitional 'becoming a big kid' phase and need to know that their current 'mishaps' are just a normal part of growing up.
