Ellie The Elephant’s Day of Feelings
Ellie’s Day of Feelings
Every feeling has a story—and every story deserves to be heard.
In Ellie’s Day of Feelings, children are invited to walk beside Ellie the Elephant as she experiences a full day of emotions—from happy and brave to angry, lonely, and loved again. Through gentle storytelling and expressive illustrations, Ellie helps young readers understand that all feelings are important, even the hard ones.
From morning giggles to bedtime tears, Ellie’s day reminds children that emotions aren’t good or bad—they’re messages from the heart. When Ellie feels frustrated, she learns to take a breath. When she feels lonely, she remembers people who care. When she feels scared, she discovers courage hiding inside her. And when she feels loved, she learns that love never really leaves—it lives in all the moments in between.
Created for ages 4–8, Ellie’s Day of Feelings helps children:
Recognize and name common emotions
Understand where feelings “live” in the body
Develop healthy ways to express sadness, anger, fear, and joy
Build emotional vocabulary through visual storytelling
Learn that it’s safe to talk about feelings with trusted adults
Written by Raina Shephard, a behavioral health therapist and author of the Ellie the Elephant Emotional Learning Series, this book is both comforting and educational. It gently supports emotional intelligence and early mental wellness, helping children learn that what they feel on the inside matters.
Each two-page spread explores a different emotion with expressive artwork, child-friendly language, and calm reassurance—ideal for bedtime reading, therapy sessions, or classroom discussions.
At the end of the book, you’ll find:
A Feelings Reflection Page to help children identify and share their own emotions
A Dear Grown-Up Note for parents, teachers, and counselors to guide conversation
Optional coloring and journaling pages for creative expression
Ellie’s Day of Feelings is perfect for families, schools, and counseling offices—anywhere children are learning that emotions are meant to be felt, not feared.
Because when a child learns to name what they feel, they learn to heal.
