This rhyming tale features a young monkey searching for its mother with the help of a well-meaning butterfly. It’s a sweet and funny story about identity, persistence, and family love. The ending is heartwarming as the monkey is finally reunited with its parents. With lush illustrations and bouncy rhythm, it's a hit for toddlers and preschoolers. Though not explicitly Christian, the theme of family reunion has a redemptive feel.
