After a parrot makes fun of Sooki's big ears, long nose, and wrinkled skin, the saggy baggy elephant is not too sure of himself. Sooki tries to fit in but, just can't because he is not like the others. He feels sad and self-conscious, so the little elephant decides to hide in a cave where no one can see how ugly he is. Then he finds something just like him, other elephants. Sooki sees he just needed to be himself to be loved. 

This is a great book for kids trying to fit in or feeling self-conscious. It will make them see that they only need to be themselves to be happy.
