Monkey Dancing: A Father, Two Kids, and a Journey to the Ends of the Earth

by Daniel Glick (Author)

Synopsis

After losing his brother to cancer and a painful divorce that left him the sole charge d'affaires of two decidedly spirited children, environmental reporter Daniel Glick knew he and his little family desperately needed some karmic rejuvenation. He opted for an epic adventure. In the summer of 2001, Dan, Zoe, and Kolya packed up and set off on a six-month tour to see the world's most exotic and endangered habitats. Monkey Dancing takes readers along for this incredible journey. From the python-infested rivers of Borneo to the highest summits of Bali, from Nepal's Gangeatic Plains to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Glick recounts the adventures they met with, the challenges they confronted, and how they learned to cope with grief, loss, and one another. Along the way, he offers intimate reflection on life, fatherhood, change, and the fragile health of our troubled planet. Acclaimed by reviewers, a BookSense Parenting bestseller, Monkey Dancing is a poignant, affirming, ultimately courageous book ,Audubon Magazine.

Media Reviews
Click's journalistic background informs his odyssey with a sense of scholarly urgency...although even the most dangerous encounters are leavened by [his] mordant sense of humor...
