Book Launch Event: Grief is an Elephant by Tam Smith

Past event
Oct 28, 2023, 2 to 4 PM

A Picture Book for All Ages by Tamara Ellis Smith
When Grief first arrives, it is like an elephant—so big that there is hardly room for anything else. But over time, Grief can become smaller and smaller—first a deer, then a fox, a mouse, and finally a flickering firefly in the darkness leading us down a path of loving remembrance.

This lyrical work, written by Richmond author Tamara Ellis Smith and illustrated by Nancy Whitesides, is an empathetic and comforting balm for anyone who is experiencing grief, be it grieving the loss of a loved one or losses in the world around us.
