Thanks to caring people who wanted him to have a better life, Ivan was eventually moved to a spacious gorilla habitat at Zoo Atlanta. You will be inspired by his resilience and the true meaning of freedom in this gentle, touching introduction to a very special animal who captured the hearts of people everywhere.

Brian Karas's beautifully composed, evocative illustrations.
