Bookroo's summary

In Prickly Valley, an elephant named Poe refuses to budge from the road, causing chaos. The townspeople try everything to move him, but only a brave young girl dares to ask why he's there. Her simple question leads to unexpected revelations, teaching the town about the power of listening and friendship. Will her approach succeed where others have failed? Discover the heartwarming lesson in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

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.
