Summary: Jane Goodall wanders around outside with her stuffed chimpanzee Jubilee. She loved to be outside being part of the natural world. She especially loved the story of Tarzan and Jane and dreamed of Africa. When she grew up, her dream came true. The illustrations in this book are magical and include childhood drawings, diagrams, and photographs of Jane Goodall. The focus on Jane's childhood welcomes children to imagine that they, too, could make their dreams come true.
Classroom Ideas: A study of Africa, chimpanzees, or of course biography.
Extras: a biography, letter from Jane Goodall, and one of her original drawings
