love Banjo
The sweetest book! The story is great and truly helps kids see a bigger picture about helping people. Absolutely a favorite in our house!
- Kathryn S.
I’ve had to read it to my almost 4-year-old every night since it arrived. We’ve learned about a few new animals (lemur is our new favorite).
- Rachel
My 5yo, 3yo, and even my 8yo all love it and ask to read it all the time. My favorite part of the book is the line, ‘You’re beautiful just the way you are- always remember that.

Banjo’s Mission
Just as Banjo is dedicated to helping his animal friends, we feel a passion and an obligation to do the same. A portion of our profits from Banjo the Gorilla will be donated to wildlife rescue, care, and welfare organizations.
About the Author
Ashlee Fulmer grew up with her dad telling her bedtime stories about a giant, sweet gorilla who helped his animal friends resolve funny predicaments. After receiving a degree in biomedical engineering from Georgia Tech and then attending medical school at UAB, she decided to turn these stories into a series of children’s books. These days, when she’s not “doctoring on patients” (as her children say), she enjoys spending time with her family, going to the beach, taking her two kids to the park, reading, and snuggling with Harvey dog. Ashlee and her family live in Birmingham, Alabama.
About the Illustrator
Alaina Luise is a prolific children's book illustrator based in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she lives with her wife and their dog. She has written and illustrated stories since she could hold a pencil and loves bringing stories to life...especially ones about friendship, perseverance, and purple gorillas! When Alaina isn't drawing, coloring, illustrating, or writing, she's probably teaching her art students at her K-8 school. And if she's not doing that, she's probably taking a nap!
