High in the rainforest canopy, a newborn baby snuggles up tight to her mum. With fuzzy orange hair and tiny fingers that hold on tight to her mum’s body, who does this little baby belong to? The little creature hitching a ride is a baby orangutan, and one day she will swing through the trees on long, powerful arms – just like her mum! As readers turn the pages, they will discover the ways in which a baby orangutan is similar to and different from its parents. They will learn how the mother orangutan cares for her baby, and they will see how the little ape grows, changes and gets ready for her adult life in the rainforest.
