This is my life. My name is Jo-Jo. Taken from his mother and brought to a bustling city, Jo-Jo the orangutan's world turned from green to gray. But hope returned when a kind woman rescued him and brought him back to the jungle—his true home. Told in Jo-Jo’s own words, this beautifully illustrated book sensitively introduces children to themes of animal welfare, environmental awareness, and compassion.
Through Jo-Jo’s journey, young readers discover the vital role orangutans play in keeping the rainforest alive. By eating fruits and dispersing seeds, Jo-Jo and his fellow animals help paint the jungle in lush greens, keeping the forest thriving for generations to come.
