Deep in the jungle
A mother monkey finds a son she did not expect.
She will try to teach him everything she knows, but what if that isn't enough?
What if there are things that tigers just can't do?
Different is powerful
Tigers Aren’t Monkeys is a beautifully illustrated children’s picture book written in lyrical verse and near-perfect rhyme. It tells the moving and magical story of a tiger cub raised by monkeys — and the journey he takes to understand who he really is.
​
This is a story for every child who has ever felt different, misunderstood, or out of place. It’s especially resonant for neurodivergent kids — including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory differences — and for the parents, teachers, and therapists who support them.
​
The story emphasizes themes of inclusion, identity, self-worth, and the unconditional love of caregivers. Ideal for children ages 4–8, Tigers Aren’t Monkeys is a perfect choice for bedtime reading, classroom discussions about diversity and emotions, or as a gift for a child who sees the world a little differently.
