Announcing the Growing Up Gorilla Blog Tour

Today I’m excited to announce the start of the Growing Up Gorilla book blog tour. Between now and early December, we will venture around the KidLitosphere stopping in for interviews, book reviews, excerpts, a guest post and a giveaway with 10 outstanding educators, librarians and children’s book bloggers who are spreading the word about this dramatic true animal story.

What happens when a mother gorilla at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo walks away from her baby minutes after its birth? Growing Up Gorilla explores the question of whether mothering is a learned or instinctive behavior and the challenges human caregivers face helping a gorilla mother build a lasting bond with her daughter.

Join the blog tour as we explore this connection between humans and gorillas and discover surprising things about ourselves in the process.

 “The apes still live within us - closer to us in body and mind than any other creature.” -  George Schaller, the renowned biologist and author of The Mountain Gorilla.

Please join us on the tour, with different stops every day. Here’s the schedule to follow along.
