What is The chimpanzees of Happytown about?
In the gloomy town of Drabsville, the chimpanzees must live in identical grey houses and are forbidden to have fun. Then Chutney arrives with a tiny seed and plants it in secret. As the tree grows, colour, music and laughter begin to spread. But the grumpy mayor is determined to stop the changes. Can Chutney and the other chimpanzees transform their miserable town into a bright, joyful place where everyone is free to be themselves?
