Author Description

Billy is very rich. He owns twelve sport cars and even a helicopter! That's why he's called Prince of the Amazonia. But Billy is also the king of chewing gum with his very successful factory... until the day he decides to try a new flavor and creates an explosion. Will he find a solution to help his friends? Yann Walcker studied graphic arts and soon decided to write his own children's book as well as poems. He is the author of more than forty stories. Sofie Kenens is a young illustrator who has already worked for numerous children's book publishers. She also likes to work on illustrating stationary. Her illustrations are very colorful and modern, and successfully illustrate the tropical forest of the Amazon! The soft flexi-cover and charming pastel rainbow illustrations of Billy the Monkey, or the Prince of the Amazon make it especially appealing to young readers. --Midwest Book Review
