A jewel of a middle-grade novel about a resilient little girl who
longs for her dad to break free from the elephant of his
depression. When Olive's dad drags himself to work in the morning,
the elephant goes with him. When he comes home again, so does the
elephant. It's always there, heavy and silent, casting a shadow of
sadness over him. Olive knows it has been like this since her
mother passed away when she was a year old, and she can't stand to
see her father burdened anymore. With help from her grandfather and
her best friend Arthur, she hatches a plan to rid her family of the
elephant once and for all. Before long, she'll learn that while
happiness isn't that simple, small things can move mountains-or
elephants. Award-winning author-illustrator Peter Carnavas portrays
a child's response to her father's depression with naive wisdom. In
defiance of the looming grey presence, The Elephant is an
intergenerational story of resilience, family, and hope.
