“So we’re thrilled to receive these honors and hope they bring more awareness to this special book. “‘Orangutan’ reflects our deepest intentions to inspire compassion, wisdom and a deep respect for all,” Weeks said. In 2012, Naomi Rose and Robin Weeks founded Dancing Dakini Press to publish creative, well-crafted books for children and adults. “Orangutan: A Day in the Rainforest Canopy” is available locally at Andrea Smith Gallery as well as from the Dancing Dakini Press website and online retailers. “I hope that young readers of my book will grow up loving and respecting orangutans and pick up the gauntlet.” He swings through the canopy searching for food. “I wanted to do what I could to encourage the protection of a thriving wild environment for orangutans,” Goldner said. When a young orangutan wakes in his nest of leaves, his day in the rainforest begins. Full of colorful, whimsical illustrations, the book also includes words to know and fun facts. The book follows a young orangutan from sun up to sun down as he swings through the canopy searching for food, visits the river below and encounters other Borneo wildlife, some of which create great danger. The International Book Awards honors worldwide excellence in traditional and independent publishing. Nautilus Book Awards honors books that inspire and connect lives as individuals, communities and global citizens.
