When Zola moves into the neighbourhood, her new next-door neighbour is too shy to go over and introduce herself. Plus, Zola already has a friend to play with - an elephant!

Luckily, she also discovers that being brave can lead to new friendships - and even richer imaginary worlds - in this heart warming book about friendship, moving, and the power of imagination by New York Times best-selling author Randall de Seve and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Pamela Zagarenski.
