Presents a children's book for early readers that describes how a baby baboon grows up, how his mother cares for him, how he learns from his mother, and more.
A baboon rescues a star that is caught in a tree, allowing the night to end and the day to begin, and is rewarded by the sun and moon with the brilliant colors he wears today.
Fourteen-year-old Gerry Copeland regains consciousness after a plane crash in the African savanna only to discover that he has become one of the baboons his parents are studying.
