Punch the Monkey is a gentle, heartwarming story that helps children understand their feelings, calm down, and make positive choices.

Meet Punch, a tiny monkey with a very big heart.
Punch lives in a cheerful zoo full of swinging vines, playful monkeys, and wonderful animals. But Punch is left out.
While the other monkeys laugh and leap through the trees together, Punch sits quietly on a branch,
wishing he had a place where he truly belonged.
Patti Smith created Punch the Monkey to help children navigate big feelings in a safe, simple, and loving way.
