Synopses & Reviews
Elephant-headed and big-bellied, mischievous and sweet, the
god Ganesh is one of the most familiar faces in the world. But why does
he have the head of an elephant? Set in the Himalayas in a time of gods
and goddesses, The Elephant Prince tells the story of a remarkable bond
between a mother and her son, a remorseful god, a generous elephant and
the boy who became Ganesh. Belgin Wedman's jewel-toned illustrations,
reminiscent of classical Indian miniatures, complement this poetic story
of one of the most beloved gods of all.
