Elfa and the box of memories

Elfa and the box of memories

Michelle Bell (Author), Rachel Fuller (Illustrator)

This thoughtful book, suitable for any child in any situation, explores the importance of memories – both good and bad – and how sharing those memories can reassure a child and build their sense of who they are. Elfa the elephant carries a heavy box on her back everywhere she goes, although sometimes it makes her hot and tired. It carries her memories, and she is scared of losing them. None of the other animals seem to notice or ask what is inside. But when she finds a friend, Elfa discovers that sharing her memories can brighten her day with the good ones, lessen the weight of the bad ones, and help her develop her understanding about life and who she is.
