Hi. I am a little bit different from you. My mother is normal, but my dad is a bonobo chimpanzee. He's not the dad who raised me though, that's Kevin, Sarah's husband. Sarah is my mom. I can't write too good, but my friend Kelpie is helping me do this so you can read it.I grew up in the woods - the beautiful Siskiyou mountains in Oregon. But now I live in Seattle but mostly I just travel with my best friend Virgo Jane. We have a mission. We are trying to tell everyone about all the endangered animals in the world. Like the bonobo chimps who live in the Congo. They are my relatives. Actually they are your relatives too. Bonobos and humans have almost all the same genes. That's why I exist! My mom got some bonobo sperm in her and it was close enough to make her pregnant!But you can read all about that in Kelpie Wilson's book, Primal Tears.
This is the book about me. It is called PRIMAL TEARS and it is by Kelpie Wilson.
Kelpie is a journalist and a freelance writer. She has a website kelpiewilson.com
You can buy Primal Tears at amazon.com or powells.com or lots of other places online. Or ask your local bookstore to carry it. I think you will like it. It is all about me and my friends. It has the really crazy story of how I came to be born. And it has stories about what I am doing now, like working with my friends Virgo Jane and Carver to save forests, bonobos and other endangered species.
