Synopsis

Born at the San Diego Zoo, Mosi Musa the vervet monkey has won the hearts of countless Zoo visitors and keepers with his endless energy.

But, life didn’t start off easy for Mosi. After a difficult delivery, Mosi’s mother, Louise, showed no interest in her new baby. She wouldn’t interact with him, nurse him, or care for him. But Mosi needed a vervet monkey mother to raise him! How would he learn to climb, groom, and behave like a vervet monkey?

Keepers were able to bottle-feed Mosi, but they knew he needed more. Then they realized that Mosi’s grandmother might be able to raise him. Grandma Thelma, Louise’s mother, wanted to hold Mosi right away. She took care of him as if he were her own baby—cuddling, grooming, and protecting him. Keepers saw the bond between the two monkeys grow daily. Grandma Thelma would teach Mosi everything he needed to know to lead a normal, healthy vervet monkey life!

"OMG! This book is so cool.

​My son literally squealed with delight the whole way through it and then we reenacted scenes with his stuffed animals afterwards. We are going to the Zoo tomorrow so we can visit the monkeys!"
