This absolutely charming and heartwarming rhyming bedtime story tells the tale of Ellie, an elephant who forgets and remembers her own true and perfect nature. Will Ellie discover her deepest happiness inside? Lovingly and humorously illustrated, this book, which is part of the Conscious Bedtime Story Club collection, is a sure-fire winner for parents seeking conscious parenting tools. This book will help children to find inner happiness when they forget how to do so. The book ends with The Supercool Sleepmaker, an exercise to help children relax into sleep while recognizing their own unique perfection.

Conscious Bedtime Stories are a collection of stories with wise and lovable characters who teach core life values to your children. Each of the 12 Conscious Bedtime Story Club books invites its readers to engage in mindfulness practices, beginning with Snuggle Breathing, which helps parents and children alike to share an experience of relaxation, presence and connection to each other and to the story. Each story ends with reflective activities and exercises to help children assimilate the lessons the stories have presented. Because the last 20 minutes of each day are precious, these books use this important time to help children and parents grow consciously together in mind, body and spirit.
