How to get the most from these
Size is a shortcut to feeling
A huge animal who is careful, or a small one who is brave, tells a child something about themselves before a single feeling is named on the page.
Memory and grudges
Elephant stories almost always end up being about remembering. That is a useful doorway into forgiving, which is otherwise very hard to discuss directly.

Frequently asked questions
Are jungle stories frightening?
Not here. Predators are either absent or given their own worry, so no story ends with an animal being hunted.
Do these work for school-age children?
Yes. Seven to ten-year-olds get the most from these because the conflicts are between characters rather than against nature.
