When Bazia began to retell a traditional central African folk tale called The Monkey’s Heart to young people, we knew we had found a very special way to talk about good and evil, friendship and courage. Project Bazia decided to lengthen this Monkey’s tale because Monkey is a very special fellow. Curious about the world, clever in survival, and kind to others, Monkey journeys up the Nile and meets other animals whose personalities will entertain and instruct you about the strengths and weaknesses of human hearts. Our illustrator, Steven Niem, hopes that his drawings will deepen your connection to the lessons in this fable. Steven was born in Sudan and now resides in San Diego, California.

Children follow the Boat Monkeys as they climb aboard a sailboat, lift the anchor, raise the sail, and sail away. Along the way they trim the sheets, grind winches, tack, and check their course. An extra monkey joins in for each part of the fun until there are 20 monkeys sailing back into a harbor at the end of the day. A fun counting book that also teaches sailing terms to the next generation of sailors, Boat Monkeys is recommended for ages 3 through 8, but it is a treat to read at any age. Available in English (Boat Monkeys), French (Singes Marins), German (Bordaffen), Portuguese (Macacos Marinheiros), and Italian (Poesia delle Scrimmiette).

Shy, bumbling Eugene, 13, is unjustly booted out of his former school and forced to transfer to a remote Michigan school in the middle of the year. In a snowstorm yet. Ew, this is bad. But worse, he finds Grindsville Middle is a nest of bizarre teachers who are terrorizing the kids. They play dark music on the intercom, burn pukey incense, and make a shambles of the classes. And the leader is Eugene’s English teacher, Mrs. Merci Mingley – a.k.a. “Ming the Merciless.”Quickly Eugene finds himself on her radar. Aak! This happens because he has let himself be convinced by three likable “rebel” students (Harriet, Weeser, and Alvin), that fate has sent him as a “samurai warrior” to help the kids against Mrs. Mingley. Sooo wrong. And it all goes swiftly bad in English class when he tries to save Harriet –But hold it. We’re getting ahead of the story. Look, just read the opening chapter to get an idea what’s going on. But be warned. If you happen to get hooked on the story, the ride gets a little scary. Oh, didn’t we mention the ride? Hoo-yeah, there’s a ride all right… Duwang.

Monkey depicts the adventures of Prince Tripitaka, a young Buddhist priest on a dangerous pilgrimage to India to retrieve sacred scriptures accompanied by his three unruly disciples: the greedy pig creature Pipsy, the river monster Sandy and Monkey. Hatched from a stone egg and given the secrets of heaven and earth, the irrepressible trickster Monkey can ride on the clouds, become invisible and transform into other shapes skills that prove very useful when the four travellers come up against the dragons, bandits, demons and evil wizards that threaten to prevent them in their quest. Wu Ch'eng-en wrote Monkey in the mid-sixteenth century, adding his own distinctive style to an ancient Chinese legend, and in so doing created a dazzling combination of nonsense with profundity, slapstick comedy with spiritual wisdom.
