When Umande was born, his mom didn't know how to care for him. Even though they were both surrounded by other gorillas, none of the others had ever had any experience with how to handle a baby gorilla, the band did not know how to support and aid the new mother. Umande was left alone and neglected. The zookeepers had to step in and take care of him. Like an infant baby, the zookeepers fed and played with him. They taught him how to play and fend for himself. They loved him as best as they could while they found him a new home, a new family.
Soon enough, Umande is sent to another zoo to hopefully be his new home. They introduce him to Lulu, an experienced mother whose babies have all grown up. Lulu instantly takes a liking to Umande, and within minutes the two start bonding and grow to love one another.
Umande has found a new mom. A new place to call home.
The illustrations perfectly portray Umande's transition and the adoration, warmth and care that he received from his caretakers. You can see and feel the hopes and dreams that they had for Umande to have a happy life, home and family. And of course, we also see the beautiful love between mother and child unfold right before our eyes.
An endearing picture book that will be loved by many... a story to share not only with adoptees and their families, but with anyone. Umande is sure to teach many that hope is never lost, and that thoughtfulness and love can be found.
