Story of Miza and gorilla Rangers touches children
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Nov 26 2008 | By: baraza
Today I received an email from Robert Williams about ‘Looking for Miza” that made me realise just how much this little book matters.
Here’s an excerpt.
“I had some good friends over for dinner the other night and when one of their kids saw my copy of “Looking for Miza”, her eyes lit up. Turns out that Tessa, who is nine years old, learned of the book through her school and got her parents to purchase it. She was clearly touched by the book and went on and on about the gorillas and Innocent. It was really quite something. She even wrote a paper on the mountain gorillas. Great job on creating a book that really speaks to kids and moves them to act”.
Thank you Tessa and Robert - You’ve made my day!! 
For those who haven’t got ‘Miza’ yet you can order it online at Amazon here It would make a great xmas present for someone special. Sadly, copies in Nairobi have already sold out

Paula — I just saw the book advertised in the What on Earth Catalogue and it also (optionally)came with a little stuffed adult and baby gorilla…

My family has our copy of Looking for Miza and we love it.

I have my as-yet un-autographed copy.
Paula, have you heard if Innocent and the others have spotted Miza yet in the Kabirizi group?
