Little Monkey

Description

It's hard being a little monkey in a big troop, in an even bigger jungle - and this little monkey has had enough of always missing out! She's off to climb to the top of the tallest tree in the jungle and she's going to do it all on her own. Except that there's someone following close behind. Someone with claws and stripes and rather sharp teeth . . . Little Monkey is a beautiful, funny and empowering picture book from bestselling author-illustrator, two times CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal nominee and BookTrust Time to Read favourite, Marta Altes, which shows us that the world is a big, wild and wonderful place where anything is possible.

Marta Altes is the award-winning creator of My Grandpa, I Am An Artist! and My New Home. She loves to tell stories and her love of illustration saw her study for a degree in Graphic Design in Barcelona. Marta moved to the UK to study for an MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University (the best decision she ever made!) and graduated in 2011. Since then she has seen her books translated into many different languages. My Grandpa won the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Honour in the US and I Am An Artist! was longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. She's also won the Read It Again! Award and the Nottingham Children's Book Award and her first book No! was shortlisted for the Peoples Book Prize and the Waterstones Picture Book Prize. Marta lives in London.
