Bookroo's summary

Koko, a gorilla who learned to communicate in sign language, asked her teachers for a cat. Given a tiny tailless kitten, she named him All Ball and cared for him like a baby. Told through photographs, this true story follows their tender friendship and Koko's grief when the kitten dies, showing how deeply an animal can feel love and loss.
