A gentle story about sadness showing that sometimes all you need to
feel better is the openness of someone who accepts you as you are.
A Financial Times Best Children's Book of 2021 This is a subtle
story about an elephant who is feeling sorrowful, and nothing seems
to interest him or lift his spirits. Illustrated with a striking
contrast between shadow and light, the moody blue elephant appears
to live in a different world from his colorful savanna friends.
Empathy is a tricky emotion for children and adults alike to grasp,
but The Shadow Elephant manages to walk the line between sadness,
understanding, and emotional connection. Here we witness, in a
story that unfolds at a natural, gentle pace, that it's okay to be
sad and to show it, and that this sorrow is not necessarily a
problem to be fixed, but is a feeling to acknowledge without
judgement. This simple act of acceptance and validating another
creature's feelings is subtle, yet, it is an essential step to true
empathy.
