Meet Lucy. She’s a bonobo and she’s a lot like you! In this story, you’ll learn about Lucy and her family and see amazing photographs that will make you laugh out loud. What is a bonobo? Bonobos are our closest great ape relatives who live in a uniquely peaceful and matriarchal society. Tragically, scientists predict bonobo extinction within 10 years unless humans protect them and their habitat, the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Africa. YOU CAN HELP! All profits from I’m Lucy go to the Bonobo Conservation Initiative and Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots program – organizations working to save the bonobos and the Earth. Learn more on our website: www.bonobokids.org. Login with the special code inside this book for your very own virtual bonobo friend and earn points for helping endangered creatures and our world.

Hi, Their site is wonderful! Wasn’t there a real “Lucy” who had a high vocabulary?! Please enter me in your book drawing. I did sign for their challenge. Many thanks, Cindi
I signed up! My 4 year old would adore this book, he wants to be a zoologist when he grows up. We spend so much time reading and learning more about animals. This would be amazing. Thanks for the chance to enter!
This would be an awesome book for my grandchildren!
I took the pledge to take the bonobokids challenge.
I’m so glad that a childrens’ book is addressing this issue!
signed up and took the pledge…looks like a great book.
thank you
GREAT PRIZE
I think this a great idea but it’s not for children since this site was created for fundraising for the bonobos and also to give an egg a day to children and their teachers. I hope that you are able to save them.
I would love to enter your book giveaway. Thanks.
I signed up and pledged to take the bonobokids challenge.
great book giveaway
