Description
What do you do when your friend feels blue? This gentle and encouraging rhyming picture book tells a story of all the things you can do to help cheer them up.
If your friend is feeling down, do you tickle his trunk to get him out of his funk? Give him a treat-or two or ten? See if he feels better then?
A child and his best elephant buddy navigate the many ways to support a pal who's feeling sad. They learn that the best ways to help are simple: being there for your friend, listening to their troubles, and then, when they're ready, offering a big hug.

Reviews / Votes
Supporting social-emotional learning, this candidly reassuring book can be effectively used with young children in classrooms, libraries, and at home to encourage discussions about friendship, sadness, and sensitivity. Digs a little below the surface of most child-animal friendship books to explore deeper emotions. -- Kirkus Reviews * 8/15/24 *More details
