Isabella Smiles book cover with blue baby elephant looking up into tree

Young Isabella, the elephant, lives on a preserve with her sister, Chloe. Life here is good after being rescued from working a logging farm. But they are suddenly separated by illness.

​

Already missing her mother, Isabella, finds herself truly alone and must now endure her sister's mysterious absence.

 

Just when she thinks all hope is lost, she meets a new friend high up in a tree, Natalie, the gnatcatcher.

 

Their story is one of friendship, promises and making the best of any circumstance.
