The lesson of this book is best expressed in this wonderful quote:
“A lot of people go through life hanging on to the belief that they can't do something, simply because they failed at it (once) before.”
My six year old nieces favorite part of the book was when the character finally succeeded at his task, and he "felt like a big, strong elephant, breaking the rope that had held him back." I am confident that image will stay in her mind for a long time, empowering her to work through hard times to emerge even stronger than before!
Marcus creates a delightful tale where the words from a wise grandfather who uses an awe-inspiring yet unique object lesson of elephants and a simple piece of rope to teach children the ability to stand tall during trials and troubles.
