They are going to climb a mountain, but Phee is afraid of heights. Phee climbs the mountain with his Uncle’s encouragement. At the top they discover Elephant Rock. Uncle John surprises Phee with a memory box, but he leaves it behind. Soon after, Uncle John passes away unexpectedly. Phee writes him a letter and wants to put it in his memory box.

This past summer my mother in law passed away which hit my kids (especially my son) very hard. He doesn’t like to talk about death but after he read this book he said “mom I love that book, you have to read it, it’s really good, I can’t tell you about it, you just have to rad it.” So we read it together and he says “does it make you think of grandma and how she is always with us? Can we write a letter to grandma?” Both my kids have their own book and truly felt comfort in reading and knowing grandma is always watching over them. I could genuinely find comfort myself. Highly recommend!
TheElephantRock book is a therapeutic book important for all children to read, especially those that have had a loss within the family unit. Not enough authors have published books to confront the issues that cause trauma to many children from a lack of coping skills at a time they are confused- exposed to questions about death and the afterlife. This book helps guide children through that grief process in a fun and interesting way. There are also many big colorful pictures to help the children further engage without becoming distracted. My children just love the book! 📚🤓
