Owen the elephant by Reyhaneh Maktoufi, Tehran, Iran
"Hi, I'm Owen the elephant."
"My name is Owen the elephant. I am not an abajur [lamp]."
"I'm not your dinner either."
"Nor am I your doll."
"Would you like to have some more?" [says the little girl]
"I'm just Owen the elephant and I like watching the sunset with my friend."

Kristin Davis is 'very impressed!'
Star of stage and screen, Kristin Davis (Sex and the City's Charlotte) has this morning responded to Elephant for Elephant Co-Founder Thom Kofoed's tweet about the project.
It's exciting stuff for any fan of her work, but also because Kristin is an incredibly motivated Elephant (and in fact, all animals) Advocate who works closely with DSWT (The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust). Check out the amazing work they do here - it really is kinda super dooper exceptional.
We're thrilled that Kristin responded and you should be too; our message is spreading!
And for anybody who has contributed to our project already, Charlotte York Goldenblatt just saw your work! Our breathing has gone shallow just thinking about it; she used to work in a New York City Art Gallery for goodness sake.

The Phoenix tree
Arendelle and Arielle lived on Rocky Creek in a small castle. Arielle loved picking apples and oranges in their lovely, fresh, green garden. Arendelle spends most of the time doing art, pictures and sketching famous people. One spring day, Arendelle realised something strange was happening! She looked in Arielle’s bed. Arielle was green in the face. It could not be! Arielle was sick, Arendelle had to go to the Phoenix tree to cure her, but the Phoenix tree was so far away. How could she get there ?
Soon after Arendelle had left the safety of the castle, she was lost. The forest had captured her in the deep darkness. She shivered and the cold hit her like a rushing river. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge grey giant came crashing and stomping out of the darkness. Arendelle gasped. It had a very long nose and big flappy ears. “It’s an elephant!!” She cried. To her surprise the elephant swung his great big trunk and picked her up. He plopped her onto his rough back. Arendelle screamed “Where are you taking me?” The elephant just walked off into the wood.
After hours and hours, finally the elephant stopped and put her on the floor. Arendelle felt tired but she could not give up on her sister. She had to find the Phoenix tree. She looked around. Where was she? The elephant seemed to want her to follow him, so Arendelle did. Finally they reached a clearing. She looked around and she saw...Oh it could not be... the Phoenix tree!

your inquisitive trunk
strokes my hand
wraps its length around my wrist
smelling, touching, absorbing
in silence saying so much
touching my heart and soul
a ponderous pachyderm arse
looks like mine from the rear
an elephant-sized onesie
an elephant-sized onesie
with slippers

The Dance of the Elephants
Elephants are slow, majestic and graceful,
Wrinkly and beautiful grey,
Great grey giants plodding around,
Eating grass all day.
Men are clumsy, mean and horrid,
Barbaric, greedy and cruel,
Strong and killers of the weak,
But what can we do?
It's our job to keep them safe,
They're natural and part of our world,
They're mammals and similar to us,
They're as precious as a pearl.
