THE CHRONICLES OF SAMMI THE MONKEY
Written by Anthony J. Evans. Illustrations by his daughter, Hope Evans (age 9).
Based on a true story about a monkey who escaped from Belgrade Zoo, Sammi the Monkey is a wonderful parable for grown-ups to read to children.
Sammi is based on a true story. There was a real chimp in Belgrade zoo, called Sami, who actually escaped twice. Sami passed away in 1992 and there is now a statue of him at the entrance to the zoo.
The first draft of the book was written in the summer of 2018, and Hope did the illustrations when she was 8. Several copies were printed and people really enjoyed the story. So at the end of 2019 we decided to publish the book properly. Anthony edited the text, and Hope revised the illustrations.
