In Doyli to the Rescue: Saving Baby Monkeys in the Amazon, 10-year-old Doyli, with the help of her family, rescues endangered, orphaned monkeys from the perils of native hunters and the black market. She carries the rescued animals home to her island home in the Peruvian Amazon, where she nurtures them with her strong medicine of love and nourishing food.
When the little monkey orphans are old enough and strong enough, she releases them back to their natural habitat: the Amazon rainforest.
This is the first book in Burnham's WAKA (World Association of Kids and Animals) series, photodocumentary books for young readers that highlight wildlife preservation efforts being undertaken by kids around the globe. The stories of personal commitment and environmental activism in projects led by youngsters offer inspiration to all who work to protect animals and preserve their habitats.
The author visited young Doyli and Doyli's family and school on a trip taken with Burnham's own kids. Together with her family, Burnham travels the world meeting extraordinary, real children saving animals. The WAKA series (additional books to be released this year) shows how people of all ages can work together to save Earth's most endangered animals.
There is a free teacher's guide available at the WAKA series website: WAKABooks.org.

Doyli Shows Kids Can Make a Difference By Stephanie Golightly Lowden “The Yagua Indian man crept through the Amazon rain forest…hunting a family of red howler monkeys. If he was successful, his family would eat meat that day. If not, they would go hungry.”When Cathleen Burnham’s family took a vacation in the Amazon, it was just the beginning of a longer story about how kids can save a little part of the world. As her family traveled down the Amazon River , Burnham spotted a hut surrounded by playful monkeys. When the tour guide told them “The family that lives there takes in orphaned…monkeys,” she begged to visit. Once there, they met Doyli, a ten-year old girl, who helps save baby monkeys and release them back into the wild.How the three stories of the Yagua, the American and the young girl intersect gives the reader a fascinating look into the lives of the people of the Amazon rain forest. Doyli lives in Peru , as does the hunter. He must feed his family, but when he kills a mother monkey he finds a baby left behind. He takes the youngster to Doyli, knowing that the young girl will feed and shelter the baby until he is old enough to be set free.What I found important about this book is the writer does not judge the Yagua hunter. He must feed his family, that is a given. But he understands that when a mother monkey is killed and a baby left behind, the cycle of life must be protected. He knows that with Doyli, there is shelter for the young monkey.There is, however, a dark side to the story. One day, Doyli and her uncle visit the public market, where Doyli spots a man selling a baby monkey. She knows that thieves kill monkey parents and then take the babies to sell at the market. Doyli tells her uncle and he informs the police. The man is arrested and the baby he was trying to sell is given to Doyli to be cared for.This is a beautifully photographed book with an important story that shows readers you don’t have to be a grown-up to make a difference. In the author’s note, Burnham explains that there is an organization, the World Association of Kids and Animals (WAKA), that shares the stories of children, like Doyli, who are helping to protect animals all over the world. Burnham says she’s interviewed many children with stories similar to Doyli. I look forward to reading those stories in the near future.If you’d like more information about WAKA visit www.WAKABooks.orgReview by Stephanie Golightly Lowden

By Renee @ Mother Daughter Book Reviews My son's review - he's 8!This book is about a girl, Doyli, who saves monkeys in the Amazon forest in Peru. There is also lots information and pictures that show what life is like in the Amazon forest. The photos were good and the monkeys were adorable. My favorites were the ones of the animals and the forest. I really liked the part where the monkey thief gets caught by the police and they put him in jail. I liked learning about Doyli and how she rescues monkeys.It seems like living in the Amazon can be dangerous because there are snakes and caimans and jaguars and that there are a lot of monkeys. They travel in canoes on the Amazon and they get their water from the Amazon. I also learned about how they are cutting down all of the trees in the Amazon and that is a very bad thing. The book also says that sometimes the kids can’t afford to go to school. That’s sad.It was a very interesting book. I like books about facts and especially books about animals, but I don’t like it when they mix facts with a story. I think monkeys would like this book – just kidding! I think kids who are young like, younger than me, and their parents would like this book (and people who like monkeys).
