Grief Is an Elephant – by Tamara Ellis Smith & Nancy Whitesides
A tender and poetic reminder that there is no loss without love.
When grief first arrives, it feels enormous—an elephant that fills every corner of the room. But slowly, gently, it changes shape: into a deer, a fox, a mouse, and finally a tiny firefly that lights the path toward remembrance and love.
Grief Is an Elephant offers children and families a way to understand and talk about sorrow through the beauty of metaphor and the softness of art. Its lyrical text and comforting illustrations remind readers that while grief may never disappear, it transforms—and light returns.
A deeply moving story for children (and the grown-ups who love them) navigating loss, offering comfort, connection, and hope.
