True Story Adventure: The Elephant That Went for a Swim

(Newswire.net — September 12, 2018) Portland, Oregon — Author Kam Jean Gan pulls back the curtain on an elephant’s journey with her book launch The Elephant That Went For A Swim. Based on an elephant’s adventure swimming across the Straits of Johor from Malaysia to reach Ubin, an island owned by Singapore, The Elephant That Went For A Swim details the facts of animal abuse and confinement. The book, of course, focuses on the hurting or killing of elephants.

The Author, Kam Jean Gan, wrote the book to raise awareness of endangered animals such as the elephants because of ill-treatment and poaching. While the topic of elephant abuse is horrific, the book provides hope to everyone (especially kids) because of its happy ending. It sheds light on the truth that some real people and countries truly care about the elephants and treat them well.

Gan also wrote this book to honor those who love and care for the elephants and put to protect and rescue them. The elephant in the story was relocated to a national park in Malaysia after only a single week. The relocation was a successful joint effort by the governments of Malaysia and Singapore. The people concerned made sure they were cautious when handling the elephant to make sure they didn’t hurt or traumatize him. The proper handling of an animal the size of an elephant, especially an abused one, is no easy matter and extra care had to be used to ensure a peaceful transition.

Parents and children alike who have an appreciation for animal welfare will thoroughly enjoy, The Elephant That Went For A Swim and Gan’s prolific writing. One reader commented, “This is a beautiful story for children. It teaches them a little about the parts of the world that they would probably never see, and touches on the fact that animal abuse and confinement is damaging to animals. Luckily, this elephant gets a happy ending. I would recommend this book to all children aged 4 and older.”

The Elephant That Went For A Swim is available on Amazon in print and Kindle versions, and some bookstores. To learn more about author Kam Jean Gan and her fascinating new book, visit www.gankamjean.com.
