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.
—Sofia Goff, parent
