Pink Elephant at Phoenix Country Day School
Hey everyone! I’m hoping to bring the newest volume of Pink Elephant to help fundraise for PCDS, and YOU can help! If you’re a student at PCDS, order a copy of The Adventures of Pink Elephant at the next book fair. You’ll be helping raise money for your school, and some of the proceeds raised will benefit the Phoenix Zoo elephants! In the meantime, enjoy the book and get your questions ready – I’ll be visiting January 8th to talk to you all about wildlife, Pink Elephant, and writing about what you love. See you guys soon!

Phoenix Country Day School Visit
Happy New Year everyone! Pink Elephant is off to a good start this year with a visit to Phoenix Country Day School, where Christine spoke to the entire Lower School and visited a 2nd grade class to talk about elephants, the importance of wildlife conservation, and creative writing from a young age. Special thanks go to Mrs. Barbara Thommen, Lower School Division Head, and Ms. Kimberly Saur, Assistant Lower School Division Head, for making this possible!
Check out Christine’s 2nd Grade visit below! More can be found at Rococo House on YouTube

All Saints’ Episcopal Day School Visit
Thank you, All Saints’! Christine visited grades pre-K through 4th this week, and thanks to the generosity of the students, parents and teachers, we were able to collect over $1000!! All of the proceeds will go to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, to adopt two baby elephants orphaned by poaching and other man-related causes. Check them out on the Adopted Elephants page!
Special thanks go to Mrs. Susan McAniff and Mrs. Pam Nilsson, without whom this could not have been possible! Christine presents to some 1st and 3rd graders below. More can be found at Rococo House on YouTube

All Saints Episcopal Day School Adopts Two Elephants!
Say hello to Olare and Tano!! These two baby elephants were rescued by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, established in 1977. The Trust has rescued and cares for over 100 orphaned elephants in Tsavo East National Park, made up of 8,000 square miles of pristine wilderness in Kenya. Thanks to the All Saints’ students, faculty, and staff, these elephants can continue to live in their protected home. Read each elephant’s personal story on the Adopted Elephants page.
