It tells us about a boy that has a hard time talking to humans; as he has a stutter when doing so. He takes us through his journey on how he loved the zoo because he could talk to animals without the stutter. In school he was mistreated and told he was "disturbing" when in reality he was just different, and that should have been okay. He gets really sad and feels like he doesn't belong. Eventually, we see him grow up to work with animals, where he has a lot more success with his speech and happiness in life. It is very well illustrated, and told. no reviews | add a review
