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.

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.
