Make Time For Reading!


Looking For Miza, is a young female mountain gorilla named Miza. One day, when Miza and her mother were out searching for food, Miza's mother disappeared, leaving her baby alone and frightened. Miza's father, a fierce silverback named Kabirizi and the leader of Virunga's largest family of mountain gorillas, set out to find Miza. The Congolese rangers, who dedicate their lives to protecting the gorillas, were searching for Miza, too. Everyone was worried about her. Then something amazing happened: Kabirizi found Miza and brought her back to live with her family.

We all had such a nice time reading this book to our children. Not only did our children really enjoy looking at the beautiful photographs but it is a touching story about a father searching for his baby.
