The Elephant on Aaron's Chest

Beautiful artwork and words that a child could understand about anxiety.

This book was read in one of my teacher preparation college classes. The day this was read earlier I had experienced an anxiety attack that day. I hadn’t gotten one in years and I felt alone. When I got to my children’s literature class later in the day this book was read by my professor. I didn’t know exactly where this book was going. But in the end I sobbed internally and felt tears come out my eyes. I felt understood and more at peace knowing that things like this happen. So I think this book is great even for adult readers to feel at ease. I’m 22 and this book is one that I will share on from now on. Thank you so much for releasing this.

BZ Tebo perfectly captures exactly how children feel stress, validates that feeling and shows both child and their parent/guardian a way out of that scary place. Tremendous first book-can't wait for the next one! Arturo Laparra's illustrations jump off the page. Buy this book for your loved one, your students or any young person in your life.

This is beautifully written and illustrated. Everyone has had to deal with an elephant in their life. This book helps everyone by providing tips on how to deal with life's challenges.

I love this story and have shared with my grandsons library. It it my coffee table book so I am reminded to re-read it often. A wonderful addition to anyones library.

This book is beautifully illustrated and written in a way that all ages, young and old, can enjoy and learn about emotions and coping. Love it!!!

Beautifully illustrated with calming colors. Difficult subject handled well for children to understand.

Great kids book about dealing with "heavy feelings". Easy to read with a beautiful message and incredible images to go along with it. My daughter loves it!
