Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To Be a Great Elephant follows the story of EQ—a little elephant who wants to make a big impact on the world. After looking at all the ways that others become GREAT, EQ gets an idea. Inventing a flying suit will surely do the trick. There is only one problem: EQ has to help out his friend Frankie, the flamingo. It means that working on being great has to be put on hold. But as EQ and Frankie work towards building a flying suit together, the two talk about their goals, share their feelings, and resolve their differences cooperatively. In the end, both discover “greatness” isn’t always about who’s the smartest, the fastest, or even the strongest. It’s the emotional intelligence qualities of empathy, understanding, and honouring each other that makes a great elephant (and a great flamingo) after all! How To Be a Great Elephant teaches children the major components of emotional intelligence: - Self-perception - Self-expression - Interpersonal relationships - Decision making - Stress tolerance
