“Elephants bang into things and are rude and loud,” says Buttonhole.
Scribble and his friend Buttonhole are trying to work out many questions. But when they finally meet an elephant, is it what they were expecting?
Have you Met Scribble? written and illustrated by John Dickson, is a story about wonder and friendship, how it can withstand incursions, and how it can be made stronger because of it. It shows how it can take unexpected turns, and how trust is such an intrinsic part of it. It’s about acceptance of the ‘other’, that suspicion of the unknown is human and, with some encouragement can be overcome. And, as in this case, result in a delightful experience.
