Bam The Tiny Brave Elephant

Bam The Tiny Brave Elephant developed by speech language pathologist Michelyve Petit Allen is an adorable children’s story about a tiny elephant that saves his friend. The story is written in rhyme, contains foundational speech sounds and incorporates socio-emotional themes.

I love the durability of the small board book and the colorful and engaging illustrations. Young children will love this story about this likeable inclusive character that saves his friend despite his short stature. I also love how the author incorporates speech and language opportunities naturally throughout the story. In the beginning of the book, the author writes about “Bam’s Biography” with a brief description of where he is from with a visual map of India.
