Kennebec Entertainment’s Promise to Birds and Animals Everywhere


Dear Friends of Mubu & Kennebec,

We are excited to announce to all of you who work so hard to protect the welfare of birds and animals around the world that Kennebec is developing a program to aid your efforts. 

Though we are a small company, we believe that where there’s the will, there will be a way. We have already published three Mubu books about Mubu, The Little Animal Doctor™, to encourage young people around the globe to take a personal interest in helping protect birds and animals the way Mubu has done.

Paulo Sergio, our magnificent illustrator, is currently working on pictures for Mubu’s fourth book, “Mubu & Hoot.” This is the warm, true story of how Mubu’s grandfather rescued a baby spotted owl and how then Mubu raised the bird. Mubu called her new friend, “Hoot.” Later, she and her grandfather released the healthy Hoot back into the wild.

Kennebec is also currently planning to create and sell a Mubu doll and stuffed animals based on Goldie, the elephant, Hoot and Mu-Mu, the gibbon. 

In fulfilment of a long-standing idea, Kennebec plans to help cooperative bird and animal conservation organizations by substantially sharing the proceeds from the sale of our books and related products to benefit the animals being protected by our partners.

Furthermore, Kennebec intends to utilize its Mubu fansites and website to promote the news from our friends about their bird and animal conservation activities, present pictures of their events, and offer the worldwide public opportunities to interact with our partners.

Appropriately, our first partner in this endeavour will be the Gibbon Conservation Center in Santa Clarita, California, the only facility in the world devoted exclusively to gibbons, an increasingly rare ape. Created by the late Alan Mootnick in 1976, GCC works for the endangered gibbons' benefit through conservation, propagation and study, and by teaching people about these lovable, lively animals. Our own Mu-Mu would have appreciated GCC.

We wish to work with any number of similar organizations, and to share whatever wealth the Mubu brand may realize in the months and years to come for the benefit of creatures like Hoot, Goldie and Mu-Mu, not to forget the tiger in Book Two, who kindly spared Mubu’s life. The endangered tiger needs all the help it can get.

We also want to help spread the news on our Mubustories website (mubustories.net) about all the work our many Facebook friends are doing on behalf of other gravely endangered animals such as rhinos, elephants, wild horses in America, dolphins, the whole gamut of primates, to mention just a few.

Therefore, dear friends of the birds and animals of the world, if you feel we might be able to work with you, as we plan to do with the Gibbon Conservation Center in California, please leave us a message here on Facebook’s Mubustories. 

Most sincerely,

Peter Alexander

Mubu & Goldie Her First Elephant


The Mubu The Little Animal Doctor™ books, are written by life long animal activist and author, Peter Alexander, and brilliantly illustrated by Brazilian artist, Paulo Sergio.
 Peter Alexander spins a beautiful and exciting tale of a little girl's adventure with her gigantic pet elephant in this latest Mubu adventure.
Mubu and her friends spend countless hours playing games and having fun with Goldie, in this new adventure. They splash about in the river and help to feed and care for Goldie. Mubu's brother even tries to find gold inside of Goldie's mouth. The illustrations are so lively, they make any child wish that they were with Mubu and her friends frolicking about the jungle with Goldie. A surprise ending tells why this lovely creature is worth her weight in gold. As an added bonus, at the end of the book there is a short story about a baby elephant.
"Mubu was a secret name that my grandfather called me when I was a child," Lek said. "I was just a little girl, about five years old, when my grandfather, who was a shaman in a small village in Northern Thailand, saved a man’s life. Because of this deed, my grandfather was given an elephant which he in turn gave to me, I named the elephant Goldie.."
Mubu, is now known as the grown-up Lek Chailert, a world-renowned animal rights activist and environmentalist, that Paul McCartney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Meg Ryan all have sought out regarding her work with Thailand’s abused elephants. She’s been featured on CNN, Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel, Time Magazine (selected as one of “Asia’s Heroes”) as well as National Geographic. Lek was also recognized by the Humane Society of the United States with the prestigious Genesis Award. Chosen as one of the top ten environmentalists in the world, Lek was invited to the White House by Hillary Clinton to promote green and global conservation. On Sept. 6, Lek Chailert, founder of Save Elephant Foundation, received the Outstanding Woman of Thailand award in Bangkok. Lek stated, "Mubu & Goldie will be the best of all Mubu" to her Facebook fans.
Animal lovers of all ages will love this latest Mubu adventure. The illustrations by Sergio are brilliant and of a quality rarely seen in children's books.
