Jo-Jo The Orangutan – Illustrated Picture Book For Children

About the Book

This is my life. My name is Jo-Jo and when I was very little, I was separated from my mother and taken to a city. The greens changed to grays, the sounds of birds to screams and I never saw my family again. I spent years there until a woman trusted in me: she rescued me and returned me to the jungle. My home. Orangutans like me are a key part of the jungle. we eat so many fruits and travel so much that, together with birds and other animals, we carry the seeds very far, painting the entire forest in alive greens.
