Entertainment

Growing Up Gorilla Read Aloud

Clare Meeker reads her book, Growing Up Gorilla. Seattle author Clare Meeker spent more than two years documenting the story of Yola, who was born at Woodland Park Zoo 4 ½ years ago. Yola’s mother, Nadiri, was partially hand-raised due to complications at the time of her own birth, so we needed to prepare for the possibility that she might not know what to do when she had a baby. Indeed, Yola’s first few months were spent in the care of her dedicated keepers who constantly stayed close to Nadiri. The goal was to help her bond with baby Yola while her maternal instincts slowly kicked in—ultimately allowing the infant to be fully reunited with her true gorilla family.

Bedtime Stories
