If You Were a Monkey

Tara wants to go out and play. There's just one problem. There’s no one around to play with. That's until... a magical jester whisks her away on a journey to the jungle, where she leaps, swims, howls and tumbles with some unexpected playmates. Little does she know how much they have in common!

Inspired by a chance encounter with a long-tailed macaque in Singapore, the story is a joyful reminder of our kinship with the natural world. Parents and educators everywhere will love the book’s ability to evoke the innate sense of wonder and curiosity in children. With its delightful images, playful verse and lively narrative, If You Were a Monkey is a celebration of the boundless imagination that makes childhood magical.
