Description of this Picture Book:
Shelly’s New Shell
Shelly tricks Crabby to switch her pink, beautiful shell with Shelly’s humdrum brown. Will this pretty pink shell be the solution to Shelly’s happiness...or are there others who are after the same shell as well?
The moral: This book teaches children not to be jealous of other kids, but to be happy with what they have, because they might loose it one day. The Grass is not always greener on the other side.
Age 5-9

Endorsements:
"This book is original and charming. Elisabeth Ekornes' little fable about a hermit crab that learns 'be careful what you wish for' will appeal to both kids and grown-ups. The text and illustrations are fresh and lively. Quirky and magical, Ekornes has a winner here."
- Etan Boritzer,

“Elisabeth Ekornes is a new rising star in the world of children's literature. Her illustrations have a fresh touch with brilliant vivid colors and concept. Her song is ebullient. I thoroughly enjoyed this well crafted and delightful tale of a hermit crab searching for home, and highly recommend it to parents and children of all ages. BRAVO to Ms Ekornes for this charming and entertaining effort.”
