The Life of Ellie is a sweet story about a young boy named Carson and his special stuffed animal, Ellie the elephant. Ellie is a pink stuffed elephant who is meant as a gift for a baby girl but soon finds herself in a growing friendship with an energetic, bright-eyed boy named Carson. Through their many adventures together- hiking in the mountains, trips to the beach and even to school, Carson teaches Ellie about the world they share, while Ellie shows Carson what it truly means to be a friend. As Carson gets older, he understands he will need to set Ellie aside as she will wait for a new turn to play with a special new friend.

A self-published work of over one thousand words in length, 'The Life of Ellie' was created with the brisk pace and beautiful artwork to appeal to younger readers, as well as the story and substance to appeal to older readers. A portion of every sale of 'The Life of Ellie' goes to support Friends of the Children, a national non-profit organisation that connects children with adult mentors.

Industry Reviews

"The Life of Ellie" is a delightful story about a little boy named Carson who falls in love with a big stuffed pink elephant named Ellie. It is a wonderfully written story as it shares the many adventures that the little boy and the elephant enjoy together. Picnics, blowing bubbles, trips to the beach, dancing and visits to school are just some of the adventures the two share. Beautiful and unique illustrations enhance the written word also. The story exudes a peacefulness and joyfulness. In fact it is the kind of story when bedtime arrives the little munchkins will cheer, "Let's read the story about Carson and the big pink elephant again!" It's that kind of a story.

'The Life of Ellie' is a fun book to read because it's about the love of a boy and a stuffed animal. One of my favorite parts was when Carson and his mom and dad were playing hide-and-seek, and then Carson found Ellie! And I also loved when Carson was using his imagination! I think you will love to read this book!

The Life of Ellie reminds me of the special stuffy I had when I was a little girl and still have! I feel like all young kids can relate to this book. I love that Ellie has feelings throughout the story, and you can see how the relationship between her and Carson is very strong. My favorite part is knowing Ellie will always have someone to have a dance party with.
