Description

What's the difference between a monkey and an ape? Gibby and Jeppa know! Gibby's Great Adventures look-and-learn picture books use bright, colourful cartoon versions of REAL wild animals in the jungle to introduce young children to the wonderful world of endangered apes called gibbons. Each book connects kids with nature, teaches scientific wildlife facts, and helps to develop language awareness skills with fun rhymes.

Author Biography:

Growing up in Canada, Jackie was interested in animals and nature at a young age. But it wasn't until a fateful trip to Thailand in grad school that her true calling and passion for people, primates, and conservation began to flourish. Armed with some research equipment, a video camera, and a solid pair of hiking boots, Jackie left Canada knowing only one thing for sure: living alone on the other side of the world would not be a 'walk in the park'. Relying on the kindness of strangers, she needed to learn the local language and make friends fast in order to survive life in the jungle. It was a task that put her mental ingenuity and strength to the ultimate test - leading her to discover a lot about the endangered animals she studies, but even more about the intrinsic value of life on earth and what it means to be human. Now with over a decade of experience in teaching and primate research, Jackie is one of the few dedicated gibbon specialists in the world and founder of Prime Earth, sharing her story, knowledge, and love for all of life on earth to empower others and help create a more compassionate world. Josh Hrdlick is a true artist and humanitarian at heart. A former graphic designer turned ocularist, Josh uses his talents to create stunning life-like prosthetic eyeballs for people who have lost an eye or eyes due to trauma or illness. Since 2012, Josh has worked with Jackie and Prime Earth, joining Jackie on expeditions to the jungles of Thailand to monitor and film white-handed gibbons in the wild.
