I've had the day from hell at work today ??? how I haven't snapped at my colleagues/clients or put someone through a wall is beyond me. I have decided I loathe 99% of people.
My day has been made by reading "Elmer" to my daughter at bed time and sinking a glass of chardonnay.
Aren't children's books a comfort blanket?!? ??

Deblovestoread Sorry you had a crap day! Nice job holding it together and glad you could end your day on a high note. 😊 14mo

jamield1911 @Deblovestoread coffee and wine have helped! Sick of rude people 🤣 may go full Jack Torrence tomorrow 🤣🤣 14mo

Not an elephant but a patchwork UooUoo! This one was is outside the Arts Centre. Created by artist Melinda Harper...

LibrarianRyan Very interesting. Could be a hippo or a manatee or a fat person touching their toes. I like it. 3y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LibrarianRyan, I was thinking wombat - but it‘s a bit ambiguous (it‘s part of an art trail to celebrate the 150 anniversary of the Royal Children‘s Hospital in Melbourne) (edited) 3y

LibrarianRyan @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that cool. Did they do that thing where there are bunch all over town decorated by different artists. ? 3y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LibrarianRyan, yes there are 100 UooUoo‘s spread out across Melbourne and Geelong... each one created by a different Australian artist. 3y

LibrarianRyan @thegirlwiththelibrarybag lucky duck. I love those forms as art installation. 3y

A cute little book about how sometimes the things we don‘t like about ourselves, the things that make us different, are worth celebrating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #a2z #bbrc @LibrarianRyan

royallyregan93 I have a t-shirt themed after this book. It has 3 regular elephants and one of Elmer all lined up and then it says “It‘s okay to be a little different.” (edited) 5y

Hestapleton @royallyregan93 that‘s so cute! 5y

LibrarianRyan I love Elmer!! 5y

"Elmer was different. Elmer was patchwork."

I love this book! The patchwork of the elephant is amazing and helps signify the difference of the animals.

This book was published in 1968. This book's theme involved self-esteem and reflection. It encouraged the reader to be comfortable in their own skin. The illustrations allowed vibrant colors and animals which provide relationships to children.
