Journey to the Heart!

Chilla Gorilla and Lanky Lemur Journey to the Heart is an endearing adventure that helps everyone navigate big feelings while discovering inner peace.

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.

"A charming jungle adventure about finding inner peace." —Kirkus Review 

"With the nurturing and tranquil energy given off by Chilla and the lessons he imparts, young readers will take away a firm understanding of their emotions and the guidance to look no further than their own heart—and a trusted friend or mentor—when handling their intensity." —Booklife

My daughter has been asking me to read this book to her every single night at bedtime since it arrived. She's about to turn 5 in August and she struggles with calming down after a tantrum or being angry/frustrated. She identifies with Lanky Lemur! We follow the 1 minute meditation practice every time we finish reading the book.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.

My 7-year-old son, who usually resists picking up a book, absolutely adored the book and wanted to not only read it but finish it (without a fight). It perfectly captures the ups and downs of a day in the life of expressive children with big emotions.

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.

Preschoolers can easily understand the message of calming down and thinking loving thoughts. This book is written so that the reader can carry that message and remember it through heart awareness.

This is the 1st book I've ever purchased sight unseen for my grandchildren. I’m very particular about story messages & illustrations. I’ve come to entrust Kimberly & her family to provide an incredible story filled with important messages for their well beings. Kimberly & her Husband did not disappoint! My 4.5yo grandson adores this beautifully illustrated & meaningful story of navigating through big emotions. He includes this book in his bedtime reading & must end the night each time with the meditation practice at the end of the book. Thank you so much Kimberly!

An adorable, relatable story to be read and reread to children and adults. Vibrant, colorful images bring to life Chilla the Gorilla and Lanky the Lemur throughout their play in the jungle. The universal message of calming your heart to bring peace makes this title enjoyable for all audiences. I adore this book and hope a series of more teachable storytelling from Chilla and Lanky come forward.

I use this during soundbaths for kids, at night time to calm my boys down and I have taken it in to classrooms to help teach about regulation and emotions. Excellent gift, awesome addition to any kids bookshelf!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
My 5 year old says that he “loves Chilla Gorilla because he knows how to calm Lanky down and be a good friend. Sometimes we need a friend like Chilla to help us.” This is a beautifully written and illustrated book for parents to read to their kids to teach them how to regulate their feelings and help themselves find calm. There are times as a parent that I also need to be reminded how to find my calm place. This book is a huge hit in my house.
