The book was developed to raise awareness amongst young people about the crisis facing mountain gorillas, and the need for everyone to help. Like it's predecessor Owen and Mzee, "Looking for Miza" is already no. 1 in Amazon's non-fiction children s books on monkeys and apes. This book was made possible through a collaboration with the the DRC's wildlife authority, ICCN, and involved working with Diddy and Innocent, two rangers who are the heroes of the story.

Both Diddy and Innocent were wonderful to work with and are recognized in the book along with others for their important contributions towards the story and photos.
