The elephant is nearly in the room!
Thanks for pre-ordering! Please pay now so that you get it in time for Christmas.
Hardcover copies of The Elephant in the Room are currently being shipped to Melbourne. I’m very excited because I’ve seen the advances, and they’re beautiful! The main stock is due the last week of November and I’m asking you to please pay now so that I’ll be able to post your copies as soon as I get them.
A few things to note
Most Elephant Angels committed to two or more books, which was the ask. So make sure you select the right number of copies before tapping the Pay now button. If that commitment is now difficult, there’s no hard feelings if you reduce your order. We are in a cost of living crisis!
Of course you can also increase the initial number of copies you ordered!😉
If you order three or more I will include a paperback copy of Harry Highpants. Also, use ELEANGEL3 discount code at checkout for a 10% discount. If you order five or more copies, use ELEANGEL5 discount code for 15% off.There are some pop up questions about personalising and signing your copies which you need to answer if you want a handwritten signature at the front. Note that this is different to the printed names at the back (which are in every copy of this print run). If you want a copy signed but not to anybody, choose the signed option but then leave the name box blank or write ‘Generic’.
Some of you Elephant Angels live very locally to me or see me all the time and it would be ridiculous to post your books and incur that expense. Choose the Store Pickup option at checkout and ignore the fact that I don’t have a shop. It was wording I couldn’t change.
I’m hoping to have stock posted by first week of December, and barring unforeseen catastrophes, books will arrive by 15th December at the latest.
Again, thank you for being the people who made this first print run possible. I’m really enjoying this adventure in self publishing.

Here is the inside cover showing your names. (Hopefully I haven’t made errors. If I have, I can’t correct them now, sorry 😕)
An elephant share!
The publicity department for this one is just me! If you like the book, or your little one does, please spread the word. I think it can be a popular Christmas gift for the 2-7 year old in people’s lives, and the idiom thing is part of the primary school curriculum in Grade 5. Tell a grade 5 teacher! Pop it on a class or kinder Whatsapp group! Here is some text if you (like me) are more likely to share if it’s made really easy.
“Thought I’d give a shout out to Tony Wilson’s new picture book ‘The Elephant in the Room’. It’s illustrated by Laura Wood who did The Cow Tripped Over the Moon with him, and it’s beautiful. There’s an elephant that’s being ignored (until she isn’t!), a surprise pregnancy, a busy house and an idiom hidden in every illustration that’s fun to find. Great present for 3-7s!” https://www.tonywilsonauthor.com/elephant-in-the-room
