THUMP the Orange Gorilla at the Big World Zoo

Aim

To print and distribute a fun children's picture book about Donald Trump... 'THUMP the Orange Gorilla at the Big World Zoo'

THUMP the Orange Gorilla...

...is an illustrated children's picture book where the politicians are animals at the Big World Zoo!

With colourful illustrations, fun animal characters and bags of humour...It's guaranteed to get some giggles from kids and parents!

Providing a comedic overview of some of Trump's finest moments, and a satirical view on global politics. As much for the parents "kidults" who will get the subtle references as the kids themselves who will enjoy the fun and comedic story. The book aims to provide commentary on the sorry state of international relations whilst also getting a good giggle for you and your kids!

The Story...

The story is set in "the Big World Zoo", where people go to oggle at the political and public figures who are characterised as animals, including;

THUMP! the Orange Gorilla

Putin the Beastly Russian Bear

Kim the Korean Wild Boar

The story revolves around a key event, the wedding between the "King of the Zoo"; Harry the Lion, and Meghan the Leopard. THUMP! The Orange Gorilla is of course desperate for an invite to the prestigious event, but becomes outraged when it is decided that the event will be attended only by the human visitors to the zoo... the Orange Gorilla goes on a rampage and tries to ruin the occasion - But can he be stopped by the zoo keepers and the day saved?

I need to raise £2250 to print and distribute the books

Backers can pledged for their own signed copies of the books, which if the campaign is successful, should arrive before the POTUS visits on 13th July.

Donations to the campaign will go towards printing and distributing free copies to good homes.

Why back this crowdfunder project?

Recently I have been giving assemblies in schools, using them as a tool to discuss difficult but important issues with the kids. The entertaining and creative approach of story telling is a really effective way to get children engaged with the political dialogue, but I also think it is crucial to use humour to amuse and have fun! I have been inspired by how knowledgable and passionate some of the children I have met are, and I believe education and starting these conversations at a young age will be key to combatting the problem of apathy in our society.
