Illustrated with a striking contrast between shadow and light, the moody blue elephant appears to live in a different world from his colorful savanna friends. Empathy is a tricky emotion for children and adults alike to grasp, but \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow Elephant\u003c\/i\u003e manages to walk the line between sadness, understanding, and emotional connection. Here we witness, in a story that unfolds at a natural, gentle pace, that it’s okay to be sad and to show it, and that this sorrow is not necessarily a problem to be fixed, but is a feeling to acknowledge without judgement. This simple act of acceptance and validating another creature''s feelings is subtle, yet, it is an essential step to true empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57687324393854,"sku":"NW9781592703128","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781592703128.jpg?v=1784093439","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/shadow-elephant","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
