A Real Parent's Story
When a green monkey held my toddler hand
“A green monkey walked up to my 2-year-old, sat down, and gently touched her hand. They sat together for 30 seconds like old friends.”
Read full story
I was nervous about a toddler in an open-range reserve. A green monkey approached my daughter, sat beside her, and reached out a tiny hand. My toddler was completely still and let it happen. I dont have the photo but I have the memory forever.
— Claire, mom of 2 from Vancouver
