*This book should be previewed before reading to a child. The subject and mood are very intense.*

This is a story about depression. All of the animals try to cheer up the elephant but depression isn’t about being “sad”. The mouse in the book spends time with the elephant giving them something to occupy their mind. While, this of course isn’t the answer, (Depression needs to be treated) what I like is that the mouse doesn’t push the elephant to be happy. The mouse just spends time with its friend.
