Ellen Stoecker, an artist, a lifelong advocate for the humane treatment of all animals, and writer, has completed her first children’s book. The first in a series following the generations of the Afrikan feral cats on Sullivan’s Island. A work of fiction based on the actual historic facts concerning the transatlantic slave trade.

Ellen shares, “What a jolt! It was as if the ocean had kicked away the whole of Afrika. What had happened?

All three cats now fully awake and in a state of sheer panic. Tau knew in an instant

what had occurred. The ship had begun its voyage. How long did they sleep? Of no concern

now. Now was the time for Tau to keep calm and make sure his young companions were safe.

Tau had years of experience watching the tall ships of Bunce Island when they left the port

they may and probably would not return.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Ellen Stoecker’s new book for young readers beautifully expresses the best in the animal world with the contrast of a flawed humanity.

A fictional story based on historical events, this book provides a clear and unadulterated perspective of an animal’s view of slavery.

Readers can purchase “The Afrikan Feral Cats of Sullivan's Island” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
