Children’s Author Kicki Pallin on Friendship & Humanity
East, the Long-Trunked Elephant
Hey RWYK family!
Kicki Pallin, author of East, the Long-Trunked Elephant, new Children’s Picture Book, recently sat down with our host Jed Doherty for a wide-ranging interview at ReadingWithYourKids podcast. Kicki’s book teaches kids to love themselves just the way they are!
East, the Long-Trunked Elephant, a children’s illustrated picture book, for three to seven-year-olds, by Kicki Pallin, launched in November (Printed edition) and December (eBook) 2017.
The book tells the tale of a little elephant called East who has a very long trunk. More than anything else he wants to have a shorter trunk, like the other elephants. That way, the other kids wouldn’t tease him and laugh at him. But one day he leaves the elephant camp to spy on two mischievous tiger brothers who look to be up to no good.
Be sure to tune in to join East on his adventure as it takes a surprising turn, and he ultimately learns an important life lesson!
