A 2021 New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated
Children's Book "Absorbing storytelling."-Publishers Weekly STARRED
Review "A riveting read."-Kirkus Reviews STARRED Review What's on
the other side of the forest? A young rabbit and his father are
determined to find out in this modern picture book that "feels like
a vintage gem" (New York Times), calling to mind the tender work of

there, to see what's on the other side. But one day, Arthur's dad
has an idea-a magnificent idea! Build a tower to look over the
treetops! But a magnificent idea takes a lot of work. Will the
villagers join and help them? And when the tower takes shape, what
will they see on the other side? This wonderful, heartwarming story
reminiscent of classic children's books, is perfect for: Teaching
kids about cooperation and teamwork-and how they help us achieve
our dreams! A fun and creative Easter or Spring-themed gift for
kids
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.
