GORILLAS IN OUR MIDST (PB)

When Afia, a newborn Western Lowland Gorilla, is rejected by her mother, Kera, after a difficult birth, her human keepers must undertake the challenge of hand-rearing her themselves. Soon a second baby gorilla, Hasani, is added to the mix and they must embark on a mission to train Kera - now recovered but socially isolated - to become Hasani's surrogate mother. This thought-provoking and heart-warming memoir is a testament to the enduring bonds between humans and animals, and to the power of resilience and compassion.
