What is The Elephant and the Sea about?

Gabriel, a young elephant living by the sea, dreams of joining the lifeboat crew. Initially deemed too small, he grows up only to find he's now too big to fit in the boat. Undeterred, Gabriel builds his own vessel. When a fierce storm endangers the sailors, it's Gabriel's moment to shine, proving that determination and ingenuity can overcome any obstacle.
