Ellie the emotions elephant

  “Big Heart, Big Feelings, Big Strength”

Species: Young elephant (soft lavender with a pink heart on her forehead)
Age: 5 in elephant years
Favorite Activity: Listening to feelings and blowing “calm clouds” through her trunk
Signature Tool: Her “Feeling Fan” with colorful emotions and her memory journal

 Ellie was born in the Heartful Savannah, a magical place where everyone feels their feelings big. From the day she could walk, Ellie noticed how strong her emotions were—when she was happy, she’d trumpet with joy, but when she was sad or mad, she’d stomp, cry, and curl up into her trunk.

One day, Ellie met Balance Bear and Kindy the Owl, who taught her that all feelings are okay, but we have to learn what to do with them. They gave her tools like belly breathing, naming her feelings, and journaling her thoughts. With practice, Ellie became the most emotionally aware elephant in all of Kindland!

Now, Ellie helps children everywhere learn to feel brave about their feelings—not to hide them, but to understand and express them in kind and safe ways.
