Meet Ellie, the forgetful elephant — a gentle, heartwarming story that helps children ages 3 to 8 remember who they truly are. Written by Andrew Newman of Conscious Stories, The Forgetful Elephant is the kind of bedtime book that stays with families long after the last page. It makes a thoughtful gift for any child who could use a little reminder of their own inner joy.
Through Ellie's journey of self-doubt and rediscovery, children learn that happiness isn't something to find outside themselves — it's already there, waiting. Parents and caregivers love reading it together because it opens up real conversations about self-love, feelings, and belonging.
"I found Andrew Newman's books to be deep and meaningful and light and refreshing. I highly recommend them to parents, educators, and anyone who connects with children."
— Janet Wepner, Montessori Educator
"So heartwarming. A great addition to my social emotional learning library."
— Juliana Vergaray, Child and Family Therapist

Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Clozist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.
With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.
Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?
We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.
Why 2 bottles?
Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.
