Introduction
Keria, who has Indigenous Penan heritage on her mother’s side, lives in Borneo with her father, who works on a palm oil plantation. News that the family home is under threat from deforestation only makes her more passionate about her environment, especially when she meets Oshi, an orphaned orangutan with whom she uncovers the joys and dangers of this threatened world.
