{"product_id":"9781592703128","title":"The Shadow Elephant by Nadine Robert","description":"A gentle story about sadness showing that sometimes all you need to feel better is the openness of someone who accepts you as you are.   A Financial Times Best Children's Book of 2021This is a subtle story about an elephant who is feeling sorrowful, and nothing seems to interest him or lift his spirits. 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 The Shadow Elephant 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304342565237,"sku":"9781592703128","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781592703128.jpg?v=1762795726","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781592703128","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
