In this enlightening and playful story by New York Times best-selling author Kimberly Snyder and Jon Bier, wise old Chilla Gorilla teaches his young friend Lanky Lemur how to use his heart's wisdom to transcend intense emotions, such as frustration, anger, and fear, in order to experience harmony, tranquility, and joy.

The vibrant illustrations and engaging narrative had my son giggling throughout. He thought Lanky was the cutest lemur he’s ever seen, and Lanky and Chilla’s adventures made him laugh out loud more than once. The story does a wonderful job of addressing and normalizing big emotions in a way that is accessible and entertaining for children.
Seeing my son so engrossed in a book was a rare and wonderful experience. This is a fantastic read for any young child learning to navigate their emotions, and it comes highly recommended by our family.
The illustrations are so beautiful, super colorful, fun and eye catching.
The emotional education & focus on the heart-thoughts-feelings connection is truly inspiring and essential in today's world. I can't recommend this book enough for parents, teachers and caregivers.
Thank you Kimberly (and husband) for putting your time and effort on something that we know is gonna make the world a better place.
