Publisher's Synopsis
Chaac is one very lucky monkey; he was rescued from the pet trade when he was just a weak and tiny baby. His rescuers knew that-like everyone else-this baby needed love and care to survive, so they took him to the vet and nursed him back to health.
This story is told by Chaac, from his point of view, and is written in both English and Spanish. Through Chaac we learn that by spending time with another species, by really getting to know them, we can see that we are all connected. All animals deserve our love and our protection, and in turn, they enrich our lives.
In our story, Chaac is rescued by his human friends, but in many ways he rescues them, too. My Name is Chaac includes full color photos taken by the author, and is a great reading and learning tool for ages 5 and up.
