Evan wonders if one balloon can lift an elephant. His mother, initially preoccupied, joins his imaginative quest at the zoo. Together, they explore the bounds of creativity, where reality and fantasy blur. Will their playful adventure reveal unexpected magic?

From the publisher

Dan Richards teams up with celebrated artist, Jeff Newman, to share a funny and vibrant picture book about how powerful a child’s imagination can be…with a little encouragement.
