Evangeline: The Wish Keeper's Helper

Evangeline the toy elephant lies under the bed all day, waiting and waiting for something to happen. If only she could be useful somewhere... Will her wish be granted?

A warm, imaginative fairy tale about a discarded toy elephant who is recruited by the mysterious "Wish Keeper" to help grant children's wishes — until she discovers something isn't right in the secret world of toys, and sets out to fix it. A gentle story about friendship, loneliness, hope and seeing things from someone else's point of view. Shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award in Australia.
