Sandy Bee
In addition to her inspiring stories and illustrations, which engage children throughout, Sandy incorporates an educational theme in all her work.
In this book she teaches children about the animal kingdom and topical issues such as taking care of the environment.
This story features Granny who may be old and alone, but she’s feisty and decides to take an animal from her local zoo.
She returns home with a sad and lonely elephant who speaks to her! She names him Reggie and he is pining for his friend, Thelma, who was sent away to another zoo.
Reggie hangs on to hope and carries a jar full of dreams. Granny then rescues Thelma, bringing the elephants together again.
They all live happily until one sad but sunny day when the elephants decide to leave.
The story is about loneliness, friendship, kindness and finding your dreams – sharing with friends.

Reviews
“There is a special place for books that work late at night for reader and child. Especially a Granny book. Sandy Bee writes with love, humour and rhyme to enter that late night space. This is an uplifting book for all curious children who love Grannies and animals. And it will make you want to write your own!”
Professor Ralph Tabberer CB, former Director General of Schools, England.
