A Friendship Forever is a touching story of friendship, love, and loss. This story takes children through the emotions of grief and loss, while ending with a message of hope.
A “Seek and Find” as well as a “Fun Facts About Chimpanzees” help open up communication around the topic of grief and loss.
Best friends, Ayo and Neo, grow up together in the African rainforest. Each day the two chimpanzees enjoy new adventures and build an everlasting bond. But things are beginning to change—human development is causing disease and destruction in the forest—and one day, Neo doesn’t come back home. Ayo struggles with the loss of his beloved friend, and with the help of a wise old chimp, Ayo eventually learns to enjoy life again. This heartwarming story of friendship and the life of chimpanzees helps children understand and cope with loss, change, and emotions.
