A limited edition of hand-bound originals was published by Dianne Levy of MarineStudios in 2004; it has been out-of-print since then. We have just brought this sweet story back in a PDF version for instant download to your computer. It is a wonderful children's story with kindness, ethics and dreams that come true against great odds.

Elephant Lake is the story of Elizabeth the Elephant whose dream was to become a ballerina. The book was written by Lauren Hewett and illustrated by Lauren Brydon, students at Sir Francis Drake High School (in Marin County, California).
