ABOUT
About Adventures of Monkey
Adventures of Monkey™ is an educational and wellness system designed as a sensory experience, to develop and support the emotional health and well-being of children during their formative years, through literacy and love.
What started as a simple picture book 'MONKEY - Wishes Do Come True' written as a way to give back to an orphanage in Tijuana Mexico, has since blossomed into a full set of educational and literacy wellness resources designed to be used individually or as a complete system.
​
The entire collection provides a perfect opportunity for parents and children to bond over uninterrupted quality time, shared reading, positive affirmations and enhanced communication and connection creating lasting connections that will help them navigate their emotional wellbeing and build self confidence.
Adventures of Monkey™ is proud to be pioneering an interactive mindfulness assemblies and private events initiative in schools and wellness spaces across the country. In keeping with the original vision of giving back, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each resource within the Adventures of Monkey™ collection will be donated to TMF (Transforming Minds And Futures) a globally registered 501(c)3 non-profit public charity who's mission is to provide resources and supplies to support the emotional health and wellbeing of children globally.
The 'MONKEY' collection is the first in a series of interactive and purposeful resources that includes a beautifully illustrated picture book, activity & affirmation book, a plush toy, mood booster ‘I AM’ affirmation cards and an eco-friendly drawstring backpack.
Our next collection of 'MONKEY' resources is currently in production and will be available soon!
Our Mission

Monkey's Story
Monkey came into Amelia’s life when their worlds collided at a fun-fair in a leafy suburb of London. Amelia and her twin brother Samuel were just two years old.
From that moment on, they became inseparable, and have been by each other’s side ever since, traveling the globe together on exciting, but at times, unexpected adventures.
​
Monkey and Amelia became their own unique, emotional support system, teaching each other daily the power of connection, trust and most importantly, LOVE.
Their journey inspired this enchanting collection, created to support emotional wellness, spread love, and encourage children everywhere to believe in themselves and that anything is possible.
Monkey Creator & Author
Jessica Headey Gandolfi brings over 30 years of experience in health, wellness, and education, working at top spas and training centres worldwide.
In 2017 Jessica established her private healing practice - Harmonyum LA. It was through this practice that Jessica began to correlate the connection between the adult emotional imbalances she was seeing in her clients and their unresolved childhood trauma.
The combination of her passion for wellness, education, and being a full-time mummy is the origin to the inspiration that is now the Adventures of Monkey™.
Realising there was a gap in the market for an educational and wellness system that supported the emotional health of children during their formative years, Jessica has made it her mission and purpose to create this experience.
