LITTLE SIBU Little Sibu, a playful orangutan, enjoys his life of swinging freely through the treetops of the tropical Indonesian rainforest under the protective gaze of his mother, Hati. Each night he returns to the safe haven of his mother's nest.
But, when Little Sibu turns seven years old, Hati realizes that he must learn to care for himself. Little Sibu finds his own food, travels away from his mother during the day, and builds his own nest. He quickly discovers how to make his way in the world around him.
Through this captivating story, author Sally Grindley presents a factually accurate portrayal of the everyday life of an orangutan in a tropical rainforest. She helps young readers to understand this endangered species, and appreciate the joy and tenderness of orangutan families. John Butler's colorful and dramatic illustrations will encourage readers to swing through the treetops with Little Sibu and his family.

Reviews
"The series of animal books by Sally Grindley and John Butler is one of the finest I’ve ever seen! The stories are not only wonderfully written, but are also technically accurate in their descriptions of daily life in the animal world. The illustrations couldn’t be better--the animals seem to jump to life from the pages!"
-Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo Jack Hanna, Host of "Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures" TV series "...without preaching about the environment, the book admirably strengthens the bond between human and orangutan." Publishers Weekly "Sally Grindley and John Butler's beautiful and moving stories will help inspire a new generation of careful stewards of our precious and fragile world." Kathryn S. Fuller, President and CEO, World Wildlife Fund "The book's interesting plot, beautiful illustrations, and important topic of endangered animals make it a valuable resource. Highly recommended."
