About this Book
Illustrations by Jeffrey Zwartjes
It’s a great awakening at any age to truly feel that you are loved beyond
measure. Irene the Elephant doesn’t like herself because she is so different
from her companions. Share Irene’s discovery that her complete gift
of herself – given together with her friends – reveals the immensity
of God’s love for each of them even in the face of danger.
Some Reviews:
"Irene is an enormous elephant who learns that God loves her enormously
– and He made her that way for a purpose. This is a beautifully written
and engaging story that will touch the hearts of children and adults alike!”
Patricia Mitchell
Editorial Director, The Word Among Us Press and author of Living as a Beloved
Daughter of God
“Gigantic and gentle, Irene the elephant personifies the notion that,
when one relies on God for guidance, weaknesses become strengths and hopeless
situations become powerful moments of peace and possibility. Irene is just
great. Truly first rate. A delightful read that will warm the hearts of young
people for many years to come.”
Debbie Gonzales
Regional Advisor
(Austin), Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators
“A universally appealing story of someone finding her place in the world.
Irene’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance will delight and inspire.”
Shannon Morgan
Regional Advisor (San Antonio), Society of Children’s Book Writers and
Illustrators
About the author Geraldine

a child. She was inspired to write Irene’s story during a day of reflection
and feels blessed to share God’s message of love with children and their
parents. Geri has also written a book about St. Joseph as well as magazine
articles. She lives in the Texas Hill Country with her family and dog.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR:
Jeffrey C. Zwartjes studied illustration at the Savannah College of Art and
Design and eventually fell into the world of theater and puppetry in Atlanta,
Georgia. He can often be seen carving a big puppet head out of foam, or singing
on stage dressed as a dog, or doing any number of odd things, always feeling
especially blessed to be doing what he loves. He lives happily with his wife,
a Children’s Librarian who always brings home wonderful books for them
to read together, and many well-meaning cats.
