Miracle in Sumatra, written by Jeanne McNaney, is a fictional account of a young orangutan named Gutsy Gus. Gus is introduced to the world of humans, who are not concerned with the environment, endangered species or wildlife conservation. All they care about is money in their pocket. Then Gus is called upon to perform a courageous act on behalf of his father and mother, not to mention the rest of the orangutan population. With the encouragement of his guardian Angel, Gus completes the task with bravery!
This book introduces children to the importance of caring for the environment and the creatures that live in it. Ms. McNaney does this in a way that is imaginative and relevant for children between ages 4-8.
My children, the five who were at home when I read them this book, all enjoyed this story very much.
A percentage of the sales of this book are being donated to organizations supporting wildlife conservation and endangered species preservation.
Miracle in Sumatra retails for $18.95, is a hardcover and may be purchased at major bookstores, such as Amazon.com and Borders.com.
