Laura Charlotte

Reach for this book when your child asks about your own childhood or shows a deep, soulful attachment to a specific security object. It is a perfect choice for bedtime when a child needs to feel the weight of family history and the continuity of love. The story follows a mother telling her daughter, Laura Charlotte, the history of a gray flannel elephant named Charlotte. It traces the toy's journey from a birthday gift made by a grandmother to its current place in the daughter's arms. It beautifully validates the 'personhood' children grant their toys while modeling how family stories are passed down. This gentle narrative is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to understand the concept of time and their place within a family lineage.
