Doyli to the Rescue: Saving Baby Monkeys in the Amazon is a photodocumentary book by journalist and writer Cathleen Burnham, the first in her WAKA (World Association of Kids and Animals) series of books featuring kids involved in wild animal preservation efforts around the globe.
In this first book, 10-year-old Doyli rescues endangered, orphaned monkeys from the perils of native hunters and the black market. She carries the rescued animals to her island home in the Peruvian Amazon, where she nurtures them with her strong medicine of love and nourishing food.
When the little monkey orphans are old enough and strong enough, she releases them back to their natural habitat: the rainforest.
Cathleen Burnham visited young Doyli and Doyli’s family and school on a trip taken with Burnham’s own kids. Together with her family, Burnham travels the world meeting extraordinary, real children who are active in projects to save Earth’s most endangered animals.

She is author of the WAKA series of books (World Association of Kids and Animals), profiling real kids around the world who are actively engaged in local wildlife conservation on a grassroots, community-based level.
