A heartwarming conservation picture book with beautiful hand-painted illustrations and expressive rhymes that children will want to read again and again.
Poco knew he’d return to the rainforest one day
and he felt in his heart that’s where he’d stay.
Poco the monkey loved growing up with his friends in the zoo, but it is time for him to return to his home in the wild. Accompanied by his friend and zookeeper, Amélie, Poco embarks on an enchanting and eventful journey into the depths of the unfamiliar rainforest to find his family.
As they venture into the forest, the pair encounter a cast of curious (but wildly unhelpful!) jungle animals. Poco and Amélie’s quest is a tale of friendship, resilience and the beauty of the natural world. Will Poco be reunited with his family? Find out in this stunningly illustrated, effortlessly rhyming picture book that celebrates the wonders of the wild.
Through Amélie and Poco’s adventure, children will learn about the importance of wildlife conservation and the vital role that zoos play in preserving endangered animals. At the end of the story, they will find inspiring information about Poco’s species — the endangered golden lion tamarin — and how breeding programmes in zoos have helped wild populations recover.
The rhyming picture book is a joy for parents to read aloud to toddlers and young children aged 3 to 6.

What an amazing story, gorgeous illustration, and the kids love it!
Great book which the grandchildren have enjoyed reading and love the illustrations. Strong message about caring for our world. Thank you
My granddaughters and I really enjoyed Poco’s story. It had such gorgeous pictures as expected, but so much more. The story cleverly told the children about habitat loss, kindness and the message that we can reverse that loss. The rhythm of the story appealed and the drama of Poco’s adventures kept the girls interested to the end. We loved the information at the back of the book too.
As well as a lovely story the message behind it is clear and keeps interest high even after children may have out grown the story. The illustrations are just beautiful. It began well with a leap straight into the characters and story. This book needs to be read out loud as the rhythm of the lines is also a delight. Although geared at a younger age my 7 and 9 year old grand daughters really enjoyed it too.
