What a moving--and educational--story!

Everyone from kids, to teens, to adults will really enjoy and appreciate this lovely book about a very special gorilla and the people who take care of her and her "family." The story is quite moving, so readers almost don't realize how educational it is as well. You'll be surprised at how much you'll learn about animal behavior, habitats, and environmental protection--and you'll be charmed by the story. It's a great book for parents to read and discuss with their children. Very thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
