Priscilla the Gorilla and Jack the Silverback takes young readers on a vibrant and charming adventure, tackling the gruelling process of making a baby without the complexity. Across each turn of the page, there are gentle nods to the fertility world, with Ian the Visionary Frog (aka IVF) leading the gorilla couple to their destination with hurdles, pricks and challenges along the way. The beauty of the book is in its simplicity and pure joy. The message is straightforward: not every family is created the same way.

Priscilla the Gorilla and Jack the Silverback re-writes the baby-making narrative with clever, kid-friendly copy and colourful characters from the jungle. The book is fuelled by the success of Cassie’s Australian podcast “What To Expect When You’re Injecting”, which was awarded runner up “Best Sex & Relationships Podcast” at the 2021 Australian Podcast Awards.

This is the next chapter in the Silvers’ mission to remove the stigma surrounding infertility. Priscilla the Gorilla and Jack the Silverback takes young readers on a vibrant and charming adventure, tackling the gruelling process of making a baby without the complexity.
