It's the first day of school for Eppie the elephant, and she's a bit nervous about one thing: that her new classmates won't understand her allergy to nuts. Like many kids today, this fun-loving elephant can't partake in peanuts, pecans, or pistachios and has to be careful about what she eats. Eppie makes fast friends with Allie the alligator and Pearl the squirrel, but when Eppie's allergy is explained at lunch, will her friends still stand by her side? Readers of all ages will relate to this heartwarming, lyrical story of understanding and acceptance.
