The elephant is the projection of each person's dreams and desires; it is also an animal brimming with senses and discoveries: textures, flavors, smells, and sounds; sensations, feelings—pains and joys. The allegory created by the author prepares readers, young and old alike, to understand what is at stake in life, that is, the border between reality and fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The illustrations by Argentine artist Raquel Cané also help to give shape to the elephants that exist in each of us – in addition to the one that existed in Drummond –, all different from each other, but always willing to reform this world that no longer believes in the wisdom of animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159387980028,"sku":"9786585954020","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/34d63aa01013b888c9d764dc68e6fb85.jpg?v=1778875522","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-elefante","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
