The Elephant And The Tree

The elephant and the tree are the best of friends, who spend many happy times together as they grow up. Unfortunately, one fateful day, they are united as well in being victims of human exploitation - tourism and deforestation.

Set uniquely in black and orchestrated in a tuneful rhythm, this book is about the endearing friendship between and elephant and a tree.

It is hard to miss out too on the message of conservation; of the natural interdependence of all living things; and perhaps of what humans can do to safeguard and avoid disrupting this flow of nature.

The writer is one of six chosen out of 34,000 applicants worldwide to learn natural history filmmaking in an original Animal Planet series. Her passion and compassion for animals certainly justifies the Animal Planet's selection, and are unmistakably the motivation for writing this book.

The Elephant And The Tree
Written and illustrated by Jin Pyn

A graduate in English literature, Jin Pyn, is not new to the wondrous world of writing. Her picture book, the elephant and the tree, doesn't fail to catch the reader's attention with cute illustrations and rhymes.

Page One Wonder

The eletree trio found the new Page One at VivoCity to be the most wondorous place to tell their story.

Huge speakers were set up, and the trio were given plenty of space for the activity and to display the book and freebie.

With the support of Wildlife Asia, the trio screened their story on slides and also in a documentary.

As always, the eletree trio gave out gifts and prizes.


The most important thing was, that the small, and big kids all had fun with the elephant, tree and human from The Elephant and the Tree.
