Synopsis

Albert is not only a runt, he was born with an extra long trunk - a trunk that makes him feel ashamed and ostracized, so Albert runs away to the city. Unfortunately, his troubles continue as people and other animals tease and humiliate him. Then one morning, Albert has the opportunity to turn his "disability" into a very special "ability." Will Albert finally find the friends and respect he craves?Trey Martin's Albert the Elephant delivers a very special message about being different and finding one's special talents in that difference. His book is a personal triumph and celebration over being differently-abled in our public education system. Albert the Elephant is a must-read for every school age child (and parents, too).

About this title

About the Author:

Trey Martin lives in Colorado with his family where he attends classes, and enjoys his hobbies of camping, fishing, and cooking. He spends a lot of time creating art (and mischief) with his goofy canine companion, Lucy, at his side. Trey is passionate about drawing, painting, sculpting and writing. At a very young age, Trey expressed a strong interest in becoming an author. Being introspective, along with his pursuit of classes in fine arts and creative writing, Trey tended toward pulling himself away from more traditional main stream high school students. Sometimes feeling ostracized and thinking he "did not fit in with the others" lead him to write and illustrate, Albert the Elephant, a tale of learning to find one's value even in the face of difference.
