Tambo: An Elephant Adventure Written by Melanie Kordsmeier

“I named the elephant Tambo because tembo is the African word for elephant. The village I named Ubuntu as that is the African word for goodness and kindness—which is what the children [in the story] show to the elephant.”

As an advocate of wildlife protection, Melanie Kordsmeier shares her awareness of the dangers that animals encounter in the wild.

In Tambo: An Elephant Adventure, newborn Tambo grows up sheltered by her parents and relatives. One day, she follows a beguiling butterfly, gets lost in the forest, and eventually ends up in a poacher’s trap. Two young children find her and call for help. In the end, local villagers rescue and return the young elephant back to her home.

Minding her young audience, Kordsmeier relays a little background about the book’s main character and its setting. She explains, “I named the elephant Tambo because tembo is the African word for elephant. The village I named Ubuntu as that is the African word for goodness and kindness—which is what the children [in the story] show to the elephant.”

VA Cannonball, an Amazon reader, describes that the book has “wonderful illustrations and a storyline that incorporates family, adventure, and friendships—all wrapped into a story that is easy to read.”

Tambo: An Elephant Adventure is a picture storybook with minimal text suitable for children aging four to seven.
