The Day of the Elephant

The Day of the Elephant is set in Thailand and is the true story of a heart-warming incident that occurred during the tsunami that hit the coastlines of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives on Boxing Day 2004. The wave rolls in and the village is obliterated, but the children are saved by the extraordinary efforts of Mae Jabu, an elephant whose 'sixth sense' anticipates the disaster.Wilson, Barbara K. is the author of 'The Day of the Elephant', published 2005 under ISBN 9780207200557 and ISBN 0207200556.
