A Note from Mimi T.
Between my grandchildren, Cece, Mac, and me, we must have visited the park a “million times” - and never grew tired of saying hello to our zoo friends. I wanted to capture that feeling of awe, joy, and wonder, helping little ones relive the visit and discover the emotions our animal friends share.
