"Ivan: A Gorilla's True Story" by G. Brian Karas tells the poignant tale of Ivan, a gorilla who spent 27 years in a small cage at a shopping mall in Tacoma, Washington. Through Ivan's eyes, readers experience his life in captivity, his longing for freedom, and his companionship with other animals. The story highlights themes of friendship, individuality, and resilience, as Ivan ultimately finds a new home in a zoo. His journey underscores the importance of animal welfare and the emotional depth of these creatures. It's a touching narrative that inspires empathy and awareness for the voiceless.
