Along comes this loveable character with a wonderful story of encouragement and self-esteem for kids. Monkey's beautiful message is one that every teacher and parent hopes their children will hear.

-Terri Atkinson
Middle school teacher

My grandkids can't wait to hear this story again and again as they imagine Monkey assuming other identities, then finding the best identity of all-himself. This book holds a great "Be yourself" message for a time in which there is much pressure to conform.

-Joan Barker
Grandparent

My 9-year-old daughter received I Love Monkey as a gift and loves it. She read it again last night to me at bedtime with a smile on her face. Then she said, "I love Monkey too, and I'm glad that he knew to just be himself." The message is so clear to her-it's good just to be the real you, that you don't need to try be something you're not.

Every child is a marvel, a unique and
irreplaceable gift to the world—but,
down deep, not every child believes it.
It’s up to us—parents, teachers and
grandparents—to let our children know
that they are loved and treasured just
as they are. That’s what makes the I
Love Monkey book so special.
Throughout the book Monkey tries to be
something special—a squirrel, a bunny, a
bee. But Monkey finally realizes that
the most special thing of all is being
yourself—no one in the whole wide world
can ever do that better than you. Share
the universal message found in the I
Love Monkey book with children,
teens, and adults.

    Author Bio:
    Suzanne Kaufman lives with two monkeys,
    Eleanor and Katie, who sometimes pretend
    to be girls. Her story was inspired by
    them, a series of goofy doodles and a
    cup of coffee with the really nice
    people at Compendium. Born in the
    Midwest, Suzanne grew up with a healthy
    dose of Saturday morning cartoons and
    macaroni and cheese. Her style is
    inspired by lots and lots and lots of
    monkeys and 50’s-era cartoons.
