Jane
Goodall had a dream.
The
dream started with a stuffed chimpanzee.
The dream grew when she was outside watching birds,
squirrels, and insects.
When she watched the animals, she became curious.
Her curiosity led her to read about them.
The world around her became magical, full of joy and
wonder.
Where would her dream take her?
Why did her dreams become prayers?
What did she do when she grew up that no one else had
ever done?
Why are books written about her? |
Me…Jane by Patrick
McDonnell was chosen as a 2012 Caldecott Honor Book for
