What is Speedy Monkey about?

Deep in the rainforest, the animals enjoy a peaceful, quiet life—until Speedy Monkey arrives. He whoops, swoops, prances and dances from morning until night, leaving everyone else exhausted. But when danger suddenly threatens the rainforest, the animals must act quickly. Speedy's restless energy may be exactly what they need. With lively action, colourful illustrations and a gentle message about accepting differences, this story follows one unforgettable monkey as he discovers that being himself can make him special.
