Judith Silverstein 
Evy the Eager Elephant 

Evy the Eager Elephant desperately wants to fit in and be accepted but gets repeatedly excluded. She can’t do things other jungle animals can. Evy is finally appreciated for being a helpful elephant.
Most children can relate to the experience of being excluded. Evy the Eager Elephant is a hopeful story about persistence in the face of rejection.
