The inspiring story of Punch, the tiny, orphaned monkey who has captured the hearts of millions around the world.

Punch is a baby macaque, eager to explore the world at the Ichikawa Zoo in Japan. But his mother can’t take care of him, so it’s up to the zookeepers to look after Punch. They give him a snuggly stuffed orangutan that he can hug and hold close.

When it’s time for Punch to join the other macaques on Monkey Mountain, Punch is scared, and the other monkeys aren’t ready for him either. Time and again, he returns to the comfort of his “Oran-mama.” But Punch knows even the coziest stuffed animal isn’t the same as a real-life friend.

When will Punch finally find someone to hug him back? Here’s the story of one brave little monkey who refuses to give up on love.
