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 Olives dad drags himself to work in the morning, the elephant goes with him. When he comes home again, so does the elephant. Its 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 cant 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, shell learn that while happiness isnt that simple, small things can move mountainsor elephants.
Award-winning author-illustrator Peter Carnavas portrays a childs response to her fathers depression with naïve wisdom. In defiance of the looming grey presence, The Elephant is an intergenerational story of resilience, family, and hope.
