A bold little globetrotter. An insecure pal. Can she show him how to ignore his bullies and save the day?

Penelope Rose is ready to see the world. Even though some animals laugh at a pig with wings, she's happy with her special look. But when she takes off on a trip over India and hears another creature crying, the brave adventurer lands to find out what's gone wrong.

Discovering an elephant hiding in the trees, Penelope Rose learns he's been teased for having an extra-long trunk. And after she shows her uncertain new friend her own wacky appearance, she convinces him to join her proud journey across the exotic land.

Will a call for an emergency rescue help her teach the big-nosed beast that he's truly amazing?
