# Poe Won't Go - Hardcover

by **Kelly Dipucchio** (Author), **Zachariah Ohora** (Illustrator)

**A funny, heartwarming picture book by two _New York Times_ best selling creators about an elephant who will not move, the townspeople who really wish he would, and a young girl who teaches them an important lesson.**

When Poe plants himself in the road and refuses to budge, the people of Prickly Valley try all sorts of methods to get him to go--but one thoughtful little girl works up the courage to do what no one else has done: asks him.

Balancing both hilarity and sensitivity, Poe Won't Go has the feel of a contemporary classic, reminding readers that there is power in one, power in listening, and power in being a friend.
