Punch Finds a Family

By Joy Garcia O'Neill

Inspired by the true story of Punch the macaque, this heartwarming tale shows just how brave a young heart can be

Punch Finds a Family is a beautifully illustrated book based on the real journey of a baby macaque named Punch, who was left alone without his mother. Raised by loving zoo staff and clinging to a cozy plush toy for comfort, Punch slowly learns to navigate the big, confusing world of Monkey Mountain. Along the way, he meets members of the troop: Momiage, a friendly young girl; Moe, a nurturing older female; Atomaru, a gentle grandfather; and Akira, the troop's strong leader.

It takes a lot of courage to keep trying when things feel scary, but Punch shows just how strong a little hope can be. This story follows his journey to find a place where he truly belongs.
