It was clear from the start that he had a real gift for working with these creatures. . . . He was able to communicate with them in a special way to the point that we called him a chimpanzee whisperer. . . . I hope you will be inspired by this life story of a gentle, unassuming African man whose devotion and sacrifice has given new life to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence.Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, from her foreword
An incredible true story about one of the most courageous, loving, and kind people we have ever worked with. Stany has a unique gift with chimpanzees. He understands them and they understand him. The bond Stany shares with our closest living relative is a testament to the small distance that divides us, and argues even more strongly for their protection.Vanessa Woods and Professor Brian Hare, New York Times bestselling authors of The Genius of Dogs "The story of a gifted and utterly unique man. Stany's is a story of accomplishment in the face of overwhelming adversity and the power of love over injustice and hate. Beautifully told and very inspiring."Patti Ragan, founding director, Center for Great Apes, Wauchula, Florida
Stanys harrowing story is about survival and trusthis trust of fellow human beings, who sometimes failed him, and his love for his friends the chimps and their love for him, which allowed him to survive when humans faltered. Most of all it is about the unconditional love we must all have for each other, for the animals and for our planet. David Blissett has beautifully told Stanys story. Please read and enjoy.Bernie Caulfield, Emmy-winning producer of Game of Thrones
Ever since meeting Stany Nyandwi in Uganda, I have been fascinated by how well he understands chimpanzees, and how calm they are in his presence. This comes through clearly in his truly inspiring and gripping memoir, which also tells an important story about the ethnic conflict in his country of Burundi and how he overcame significant challenges as a refugee.Glady Kalema-Zikusoka, wildlife veterinarian, founder of Conservation Through Public Health, and author of Walking with Gorillas
