When Gerald the Elephant is sad, Piggie is determined to cheer him up, but finds after many tries that it only takes the simplest thing to change Gerald's mood.
  • Make Way for Books Annotation

Piggie knows just what Gerald likes, but even his best efforts to cheer him up don’t work. Sometimes, the most powerful gift we can give is simply being there. With wit and restraint, Mo Willems distills a moment of emotional insight into a story that is both wise and wonderfully childlike.
