This beautifully illustrated, therapeutic picture book tells the story of Ava the Elephant.

Ava lives in a house where she doesn't always feel happy and safe, but it is a house that Ava loves.

One day Ava's house falls down.

Ava is a very determined elephant and sets out in search of a new home.

She tries many different houses on her journey, but none seem quite right; none seem stable or safe enough to her.

This storybook has been written to support key adults in helping traumatised children to find a way to trust again.

The story encourages children to identify with some of Ava's experience and to explore the feelings she experiences.

The book helps promote discussion and reflection; and aims to reassure children that it is possible to find a `house that won't fall down'.

The resource Guide to Re-building Trust with Traumatised Children has been written to accompany the picture book, providing information, guidance and ideas for anyone supporting a traumatised child, in school or at home.
