"My Name is Not Monkey Girl" serves as a tremendous resource for parents, teachers, grandparents, schools and libraries alike. It was written with the aim of teaching children the importance of unconditional kindness, patience, love, tolerance and compassion. And inspired after a child called Candace a monkey girl. At the time, Candace was approaching her to play.
Author Miriam Jacobs is on a mission. The seven-time author recently announced that she has set out to raise funds for facial reconstructive surgeries for her 8 year-old granddaughter, Candace. Along the way, she is promoting tolerance, education, and compassion for those who have Giant Congenital Nevus; a rare skin disorder that Candace was born with.

Miriam Jacobs is a master of several literary genres and the author of seven books including,

In March, 2007, Miriam launched her highly-acclaimed publishing company on a shoestring budget, and in a make-shift small office in her living room.
The name was contrived as a tribute to her two granddaughters, Candace and Alyse. Her enthusiasm has helped her shape her branding and build a dynamic team around her including an editor, proofreader, illustrator, and full-time publicist. In just one month, Candalyse Publishing more than quintupled in size.

Book Review :
This is a refreshing children's book full of happy, lively paintings (by Cheryl Derocher), intimate family pictures, a good story line and information.
Kids want to know how to interact with people who look different. They are not born with this knowledge and I am so glad to see a book like this. It gives parents a chance to read and discuss with their kids how to be an accepting, loving friend.
It is told by the little person who has been shunned by her peers. Candace bravely tells us of her need for friendship. Her positive approach to her own trials will draw many friends to herself and teach many valuable lessons. My grandchildren love it and took it to school where it was a great hit with classmates.
