Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a case of the 'I want it nows' or when a DIY project turns into a meltdown.

Elena the elephant is incredibly excited to set up her new tent, but her enthusiasm leads her to ignore the instructions, resulting in a series of comical but frustrating failures. Through Elena's 'stomping mad' moments and the gentle guidance of her bird friend, the story models how to pause, breathe, and look for help. It is an ideal tool for normalizing frustration while teaching the practical value of patience and following directions. Parents will appreciate the humor that de-escalates a heavy topic, making it a supportive read for children aged 4 to 7 who are developing executive functioning skills.
