What is Mademoiselle Gorilla about?

Mademoiselle Gorilla is not like the rest of her family. While they tumble, whoop and munch bananas, she quietly writes poetry and dreams of being understood. Feeling lonely and unappreciated, she leaves the jungle for New York, hoping to find fame and fortune. But city life is not quite what she imagined, and before long she begins to miss her family, the wild jungle and the joyful sounds of home. Can Mademoiselle Gorilla discover where she truly belongs?
