The Beautiful Elephant

A young elephant is unhappy with her appearance, especially when comparing herself to other creatures.
Her self-esteem is so low she won’t risk saying hello to the graceful flamingo for fear of rejection. When Elephant overhears the admiration of an exquisite baby owl, she sees herself in a new light and finally recognizes her own beauty.
This self-love opens her heart, enabling her to begin a friendship with Flamingo. She also realizes they have more in common than she thought. This story illustrates the struggle of self-doubt, the difficulty of judging ourselves too harshly, and the power of kindness and self-acceptance.
