“Amazing tool for therapists and parents! This book allows for any caregiver to explore topics that are heavy on children’s minds and heart in a warm and calm manner, allowing for children to identify and process their emotions regarding that ‘issue’ they see and feel but nobody talks about.”

ABOUT MY BIG EMBARRASSING ELEPHANT
"He's been there as long as I can remember . . . the big, embarrassing elephant in our living room."
Maya and her family have a problem. They try ignoring it, dancing around it, even sweeping it under the rug. Yet the elephant in the room remains. And Maya is at her wit's end figuring out how to hide it from everyone.
Then a new friend moves in next door, and Maya begins wondering if there might be a better way to deal with the whole situation? This clever story about friendship in the face of overwhelming problems is given hilarious life by Pierre Collet-Derby. A fun read-aloud for story time, bedtime, and anytime.
