Mykal the Monkey Is a Super Unique Beast: An Adventurous Social-Emotional Learning Book for Kids About Overcoming Challenges and Believing in Yourself

Previously published as Mykal the Monkey is a Super Youneek Beast by Beth Davis.

Meet Mykal-a determined young monkey with a dream, a big heart, and a true sense of adventure!

Born with physical differences that set him apart, Mykal wonders if he’ll be able to follow in his dad’s footsteps as a treasure hunter. With the encouragement of his loving father and the courage to chase his dreams, Mykal sets off on a journey that’s not just about treasure-but about discovering his strength, bravery, and determination.

As Mykal overcomes obstacles and explores new places, he teaches young readers that our differences don’t define us-it’s how we embrace them that truly matters.

Along the way, kids and families will explore themes of:

• Overcoming challenges with bravery
• Fostering empathy and representation for children with special needs
• Embracing physical and emotional differences
• Celebrating new cultures and shared adventures
