2024 Gold winner, Next Gen Indie Book Awards in Children's Educational Picture Book category 2024 Silver winner, IBPA in Young Readers - Non Fiction, ages 8-12 2024 Silver winner, Nautilus Book Awards (Better Books for a Better World) in the Middle Grade Nonfiction category Two young gorillas-one in Los Angeles, the other in the heart of Africa-have inspired millions of people to care about gorillas and their future. Angela is a western lowland gorilla who lives with her family at the Los Angeles Zoo. Orphaned as an infant, Lulingu is a Grauer's gorilla who lives at GRACE, a sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Though their stories are different, the two have much in common-and a lot to teach the world about what makes gorillas so special.
