This is a beautiful tribute to a woman who was a scientist and powerful activist! Children will relate to Jane's vivid imagination and passion.

Highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of "Jane Goodall" in exchange for an honest review.

I love these little books.
They have such a great message for kids.

Jane did not have the money to go to University right away, so instead she worked hard, proved herself, got her education (as well as real life experience) and became a leading figure in her field.
Showing kids that with hard work and determination you can achieve anything.
I love the illustrations and think this is a great book to add to your child's library.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known women for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
I personally admire Jane Goodall not only for her work as a chimpanzee researcher but also for her activism. This little book is definitely a nice way to give children a glimpse of knowledge about chimpanzees and also to show how important it is to preserve their natural habitat.

Jane Goodall is a truly inspirational lady, a real hero.
The book is beautifully illustrated, and the simple story shows how working hard and following your dream can bring huge rewards. A wonderful book to read with a child to encourage and aid their curiosity about the natural world

Jane Goodall is one of those few people I admire unreservedly. She is a role model, and a real hero.

This book charmingly follows Jane's life from childhood to where she is today, and it shows how a little girl dreaming of living in Africa can become one of the most influential defendants of nature,

Vegara keeps up the quality of her books: both illustration and story are fully beyong criticism. A must read for every child - and parent!
