Description

Introduce your brilliant baby to the inspiring primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall loved animals from the time she was a child. She studied in Africa, and then travelled to Tanzania to learn all about chimpanzees. She befriended the chimpanzees, learning important things we didn’t know about how they make and use tools—and that they aren’t vegetarians! After decades of study, Jane works today to inspire people to conserve the environment and protect animals.

Kate Coombs’ engaging narrative and Seth Lucas’ captivating art teach young readers about this award-winning primatologist, encouraging little naturalists to Be Kind and Be Adventurous.
