Emba the Elephant
We’re all good at different things. There are those with a wonderful voice, gifted artists, talented sports people, people who are good with their hands, people who are good with people, people who are creative, people who make other people laugh – the list goes on and on.
The story of Emba the Elephant reminds us that everyone has a talent. Everybody is special. A child might struggle with spelling, and they might not be top of the class for maths but they are still a wonderful, worthwhile little person in their own right. They are good at something, even if they haven’t discovered what that is yet!
Emba is sad. He’s always last.
But when disaster looms, and the animals are trapped,
Emba begins to realise that he can be a winner too.
Emba the Elephant is a picture book by Mike Hughes, beautifully illustrated by Berta Maluenda, which is also available as a children’s musical.
Ideal for assemblies and as part of a wider PSHE programme, this is a story with an important message: everybody has a talent, everybody is special.
