ABOUT
About Adventures of Monkey
At its core, Adventures of Monkey™ is about connection, communication, and love.
​
What began as a simple picture book, 'MONKEY - Wishes Do Come True' written to give back to an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico, has grown into a complete set of resources - each designed to be used individually, or as part of an integrated system for optimum benefit.
The 'MONKEY' collection is the first in the series and includes beautifully illustrated picture books, affirmation cards, plush toys, and activities. The collection creates moments of genuine connection and bonding between parents and children - building confidence, communication skills, and emotional safety.
In keeping with the essence of our original mission, a portion of proceeds from every purchase supports TMF (Transforming Minds and Futures) a globally registered 501(c)3 non-profit, providing resources for children’s emotional well-being worldwide.
What it is
Adventures of Monkey™ is a fun and engaging educational and wellness system designed to help children develop emotional safety, resilience, and confidence, through interactive stories, play, literacy and love during the formative years (0–7).
Who it's for
For parents, caregivers, educators, and wellness leaders who want to raise emotionally healthy, self-assured, resilient and happy children.
Why they need it
With childhood anxiety, stress, and disconnection at an all-time high - you understand that prevention in the early years is far more effective than intervention down the line. Adventures of Monkey™ allows parents and children to spend uninterrupted quality time together, away from screens and tablets, to nurture, to connect, and to love.
Where to get it
Available at our online shop and through selected schools, libraries, wellness programs, and events.
Our Mission
"To develop and support the emotional health and well-being of children across the globe during their formative years, through literacy and love."
Monkey's Story
Monkey came into Amelia’s life when their worlds collided at a fun-fair in a leafy suburb of London. Amelia and her twin brother Samuel were just two years old.
From that moment on, they became inseparable, and have been by each other’s side ever since, traveling the globe together on exciting, but at times, unexpected adventures.
​
Monkey and Amelia became their own unique, emotional support system, teaching each other daily the power of connection, trust and most importantly, LOVE.
Their journey inspired this enchanting collection, created to support emotional wellness, spread love, and encourage children everywhere to believe in themselves and that anything is possible.
Monkey Creator & Author
Jessica Headey Gandolfi brings over 30 years of experience in health, wellness, and education, working at top spas and training centres worldwide.
In 2018 Jessica established her private healing practice - Harmonyum LA. It was through this practice that Jessica began to correlate the connection between the adult emotional imbalances she was seeing in her clients and their unresolved childhood trauma.
The combination of her passion for wellness, education, and being a full-time mummy is the origin to the inspiration that is now the Adventures of Monkey™.
Realising there was a gap in the market for an educational and wellness system that supported the emotional health of children during their formative years, Jessica has made it her mission and purpose to create this experience.
