Ellie wants to be an elephant in
the Christmas play but her know-it-all sister says she’ll ruin
everything. When Baby Jesus goes missing, Ellie must find him, or the
play will be ruined (but not because Ellie is an elephant)!
Ellie thinks outside the box. She stands her ground and remains in her elephant costume even when her older sister—and director of this year’s Christmas play— demands she change into a sheep costume. The theme of standing up for your own uniqueness sends a subtle message to children that they can fit in anywhere if they persevere and don’t give in to peer pressure. Ellie’s approach to standing her ground is entertaining and empowering. There is also a teaching moment for the bossy sister who comes to see that everything doesn’t have to work out the way she planned in order to be wonderful. The Christmas Elephant is an ideal addition for family, preschool, elementary school, and community library Christmas picture book collections.

Ellie couldn't wait to be in the Christmas play, but there was one big problem: Bethlehem had no elephants. This delightful nativity story follows young Ellie, whose heart is set on participating in the play despite her older sister's insistence that there's no place for an elephant. Through her journey, Ellie discovers that even when we feel different or out of place, we all have something special to contribute. This heartwarming tale celebrates the spirit of Christmas and offers a beautiful reminder that God's love is vast enough to embrace everyone—even elephants. Perfect for young readers and their families during the holiday season.
