The first Rule Monkeys understood the enormous responsibility entrusted to them in 'The Agreement' that was penned by and for the common monkeys.
The new nation worked and everyone was happy. Then, things changed. The system created by 'The Agreement' was gradually abused over time. Little Sani Dom ekes out a living with his fishing net. He sees much discontent among the common monkeys since the Rule Monkeys abused their power at the expense of common monkeys. Tensions escalate and word of a secret meeting spreads. At the meeting, a wise old monkey provides some answers. But are these the answers the monkeys want to hear?Who is this book for?
- It's for anyone looking for a beautifully illustrated story that shows how easy it is for corrupt leaders to manipulate the 'rules' to their own benefit.
- It's for who wants to communicate, simply, how totalitarianism emerges from even the best of systems conceived with the best of 'Agreements'.
- It's approachable political fiction for young and old.
- It's a story that explores the dangers of fake compassion and political misdirection.
- It's political fiction that addresses government corruption.
- It's a fable about government, society, and the need for an 'Agreement' that keeps Rule Monkeys from enriching themselves at the expense and freedom of common monkeys.
- It's a short story. Why? - Good question. The story is long enough to explore major monkey mistakes, but short enough to remain interesting and relatable.
- Why is the book illustrated? - There are a couple reasons for including illustrations.
- First, the illustrations reinforce that this is not our world. We can talk honestly about cause and effects in the monkey nation, because no one actually lives in that world. In this story, it's about 'ideas' not 'ideologies'.
- Second, illustrations are fun for any age - and these illustrations by Zack Demirtshyan draw the reader into the monkey world.
- Third, this is a fable, and fables need illustrations!
- Can I read some of the content? - Absolutely! Please see the Look Inside feature above.
