The heart-tugging true story of how a baby gorilla found love in the arms of a surrogate mom, Â , When Umande was born, his mother didnâ€™t know how to take care of him. So, he was hand-reared by keepers at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. For eight months, the keepers crawled on the ground with him to show him how to walk; coughed in his face to teach him discipline; and gave him happy gorilla grumbles to encourage him. But for Umande, something was still missing. Luckily, a thousand miles away at the Columbus Zoo, a mom was waiting just for him., This touching true story about finding a family will resonate with animal lovers and adoptive families alike.
