Will the Elephant

The book tells the story of will the Elephant, who, while splashing in a pool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. Will surmises that a small person lives on the speck and places it on a clover, vowing to protect it. He later discovers that the speck is actually a tiny planet, home to a community called Utah, where microscopic creatures called Nat live. The Mayor of Utah asks Will to protect them from harm, which Will happily agrees to, proclaiming throughout the book that "a person's a person, no matter how small."
