Blossom Belongs

Based on her own experience of deafness, Georgie Birkett paints an authentic, happy and compassionate journey of a baby elephant and her family navigating a world without sound.

Blossom the baby elephant is discovering her senses. She sees colourful sunsets, smells fragrant flowers, tastes juicy mangoes and feels the tender touch of Mummyphant’s trunk.

But as she grows, some things become confusing. She stays fast asleep during Mummyphant’s noisy wake-up song and even misses the loud roar of a passing lion. Without hearing the sounds around her, she begins to feel isolated.

With unconditional love and empathy lighting her path, Blossom and her family discover new ways of communicating with each other and reassure Blossom that she will always belong.
