Marleen Lammers is a freelance writer with a passion for children’s stories. While she’s originally from the Netherlands, she spent most of the past decade-and-a-bit living in various countries in Southern Africa, mostly working in the nonprofit sector. She published her first picture book with Penguin Random House in 2019, and caught the children’s literature bug. She’s hoping to keep engaging kids through fun stories, and making them love books in the process.
Mitch is living the good monkey life. As his home is in a tree above a fancy
restaurant, his diet consists of fine-dining gifts from dinner guests. So when the
chef puts up a new sign that reads ‘Do NOT Feed The Monkey!’, Mitch panics.
Who will bring him delicious food now? But with help from some unexpected
cooks, Mitch discovers that making his own food isn’t so bad after all.
This is a cookbook for children with 50 creative and easy recipes for all
occasions, told through the adventures of a hungry monkey and his friends on
the African savannah. The author, Marleen Lammers, is an experienced children’s
fiction book storyteller, while the illustrator, Anja Stoeckigt has created the most
charming and engaging depictions of both the animals and the recipes.
