More DescriptionElsie is the adorable, child friendly, White Elephant in the room that adults are too afraid to notice - let alone talk about. Elsie takes children on an adventure into her first week at school as she learns and explores her feelings, emotions and instincts. She teaches children about communication, the importance of getting their feelings out and the many ways they can accomplish this. This is especially true as Elsie is confronted with the dilemma of sharing something her Uncle called ?Our Little Secret?. She struggles with holding her emotions in and continuing to hurt ~ or letting them out and getting into trouble with her family. Elsie learns that there are sweet, caring people that surround her and that she is never alone. In Elsie's sadness, a kind teacher introduces her to a nice lady. The nice lady gives her ?Twistable Crayons? and encourages her to draw everything she loves. As the nice lady works through their time together ~ she teaches Elsie a variety of ways to share her experiences that allow her to communicate her feelings and emotions. Elsie is relieved as she learns how to follow her instincts, and her mom reinforces her love for Elsie and the difference between ?GOOD SECRETS? and Secrets that need to be told. Elsie knows that she is loved!
