About The Book

Most Gorillas Don't (But You Are Not Most Gorillas) is a book series about feelings.

Plum is a purple gorilla in a troop of gray. Easy to spot, impossible to hide, and certain that being different is what is wrong with him. So he does what most of us do. He runs from what is hard and goes chasing happiness over the next mountain. Problems, it turns out, are excellent runners.

What Plum finds on the other side is big enough to change a life and simple enough for a five-year-old to hold. You do not have to run, and you do not have to chase. Everything you are looking for is already right where you are standing. Be where your feet are.

Tucked inside the story are four gentle practices a child can use again and again for any big feelings. See what matters, Thank what is good, Do something to help solve the problem, and Let Go of the rest.

By the last page, Plum learns the thing we most want every child to believe. The part of you that feels different is not the part to hide. It is the part that helps the world find you.
