People ask us this all the time! And, we love the question. Here is our answer:

I’m Lucy was really written for everyone. It may appear to be a children’s book. But that fact makes it accessible to everyone. Think about it: if it was a 300 page non-fiction book, little kids couldn’t also learn from it or enjoy it. And, it would take a long time to read it and understand its message. But I’m Lucy, with its pictures and fun words, is easily read, enjoyed and understood by everyone. The message is clear: bonobos are adorable, bonobos are a lot like us, bonobos need our help. So far, every person who has seen the book has enjoyed it - whether they are 1, 3, 5, 10, 16, 24, 37, 48, 53, 65 or 79!

I’m Lucy is meant to be shared. Little kids can’t get enough of it and they need parents, teachers or big sisters to read to them. Older kids who find it easier to read books with less print and enjoy pictures love it. We want this book to bring people together, to start conversations - in school or at home. Whether it is plucked off the library shelf or your coffee table.

Some stories from our readers:

Sasha, one of our 3 year-old readers from Washington D.C. takes her book to school with her everyday and asks her teacher to read it out loud.

Marian, our photographer, read the book and showed her slides to residents of a retirement home, and all of the attendees fell in love with Lucy and her family

And, afterall, I’m Lucy is written about a young bonobo, so we tried to create words, colors and images that reflect Lucy’s very self. A Day in the Life of a Young Bonobo is a total experience for every reader - young, old and in-between.
