Quick Overview
The Elephant does just that – it tells the heart-breaking and heart-mending story of Olive, her father, and her Grandad. Olive’s father carries around a sadness, and always has. This sadness is so big and so heavy that Olive imagines it as a huge grey elephant, plodding around behind him, weighing down everything he does. Nothing can break through it; not even Olive and her jokes. It’s just always there – plodding along.
