Elysium! Elysium!: Blydyn Square Books

Blue Parrot has spent decades in a cage, dreaming of the lush Amazon rainforest where he was born. When he tells the forest animals about the legendary land of Elysium-a place where every good soul finds peace-his young squirrel friend Augie decides to set off on an adventure to find the family he has lost.

As the two friends embark on separate journeys, they encounter danger, kindness, disappointment, and wonder, learning that home isn't always the place we imagine-and that hope has a remarkable way of guiding us when we need it most.

Blending adventure, humor, and heartfelt conversations about friendship, grief, family, and belonging, Elysium! Elysium! is a beautifully illustrated story that invites children and adults alike to think, imagine, and dream together.
