Need Help Identifying a Bonsai

Hi, my little boy bought me this beautiful bonsai for mothers day but I am unsure how to care for it as I don't know what kind it is, so can anyone help me in identifying it, I would be most grateful.

Looks like a Chinese Elm (Ulmas Parvifolia) to me. Nice looking tree. Good luck with it.

Hard to be sure from this image; the shine on those leaves makes me think of Celtis sinensis, or Chinese hackberry. Nice tree either way but care changes. Can we see a close-up of the leaf?
