What a woman Jane Goodall! or precisely I should write: Dame Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall known in the world as Jane Goodall is. Naturalist, adventurer, explorer, lover of chimpanzees, activist.Little People, Big Dreams this time presents to the children, in particular little daughters a new thrilling book about another woman who made and makes the difference in term of discoveries, love for animals and nature and preservation of our Planet: Jane Goodall. Written by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Beatrice Cerocchi the story starts with the first approach of Jane with chimpanzee.
Jane's dad presented her one day, when still very little, a stuffed animal. It was a stuffed chimpanzee. Oh: little Jane simply fell in love for Jubilee, his name. She carried him wherever she went. And this love, although maybe at first she didn't still know this, would have continued later.
Jane couldn't complete her studies, so she decided to save every penny she had, leaving for Kenya, Africa. Once arrived Jane is assigned at an important research about chimpanzee, their life outside and similarities with humans. Jane studying them will make important discoveries and will find beautiful connections with human behavior.
(Wikipedia pic.)Her approach? The kindest one of this world. She gave to this first community of chimpanzee names, so that they could have an identity, because each pet, cat, dog, wild animal is different from another one, for character, temperament; exactly as children or adults ones are; who knows? Maybe she did it also for feeling them more close to her soul.
Once returned to UK, she published her important discoveries in relevant scientific magazines. Jane continued to study chimps in the Gabe for 40 years and now she tries with all her strength to tell to everyone thanks to her many projects, the importance of living in a beautiful, harmonic and healthy Planet.
Parents will find this children's book captivating because there are a lot of thematic on the plate: nature, environment, animals, what it means the destruction created by us, and so problems connected with these animals and other ones as well: sacrifices for arriving; I insist that it is from childhood that children start to develop a good conscience and education, respect and healthy relationship with the environment close to them if the topic is introduced well by their parents.
That's why this book of this lady, Jane Goodall will make the difference. If you have a daughter, this series of books by Quarto are the most proper ones for let her understand the power that women have in the world. It's not just lipstick and high heels that will mark the existence of a girl (that one is the funniest and lightest part of the existence) but also a life spent sometimes in unknown directions, following difficult crusades but that can make the difference for the humanity or for a lot of people or...animals.
Not everyone will become a new Jane Goodall but this example, like the other ones proposed in the book series Lincoln's Children's Books by Quarto will inspire and will help your daughters to become best children and later, great adults with a critic perspective regarding life.
I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this eBook.
