Elephant
It's a beautifully written, bitter-sweet story about a little girl who imagines her father's depression as a big gray elephant weighing him down. Her mother died when she was one, causing her father's depression. While sad, the story is told in a charming and sensitive way. It also has uplifting messages of love and seeing the beauty in life. The font and spacing are larger than a typical novel, making it attractive to young readers. ~Sara/Rachel E.
A young girl named Olive imagines her father's depression as an elephant that follows him everywhere he goes. Determined to rid her home of the oppressive elephant, Olive gets help from her grandfather and her best friend with an expression of love that helps set her father on the path to recovery.
