Made to be read aloud
A story that balances silliness with subtle facts — written to make little listeners giggle, hoot and join in.
The story
A lost little gibbon, a forest full of friends, and a song that leads him home.
High in the rainforests of Borneo, a young gibbon called Gilly finds himself alone. His parents are gone, and the forest is very big for someone so small.
But Gilly isn’t alone for long. One by one, the apes and monkeys of the canopy step in to help — teaching him to swing from branch to branch, and to find the voice that every gibbon family uses to call to one another across the treetops.
Playful, warm and gently funny, How to Sing Like a Gibbon weaves real primate facts into a story about courage, friendship and belonging — and the wild places that make it all possible.
