We can all be heroes. That’s the inspiring message of this New York Times bestselling picture book biography series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. Learn all about Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee scientist. Each picture book in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that makes the person a role model for kids. The heroes are depicted as children throughout, telling their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement, a direct quote, photos, a timeline, and a source list. This tenth book in the series features Jane Goodall, the scientist and conservationist who is famous for her work with chimpanzees.

This book is so good, my daughter is 9 years old and a huge animal lover, she simply loved this book. She opened it up and read it pretty quickly, but she became an instant fan of Jane Goodall and was so happy to learn she's still alive. She really loved the illustrations as well. Although she's in 4th grade and a pretty easy read, she asked me to buy her the entire series. Yikes. Xmas present.
I think this is my favorite in the Ordinary People Change the World series (so far!). A beautiful reminder of the power of passion and persistence. I love that Goodall pursued her goals, never backing down from the challenges she faced, including gender prejudice and lack of support for her methods. Also, it is seriously awesome that, because she could not travel to Africa without a female companion, her mother accompanied her!
My favorite yet of the Ordinary People series. A meaningful look at the extraordinary life of a woman who chose to look at animals differently. What a great role model! This book is already on regular rotation with my kids. Love what Meltzer is doing with this series -- these are the people we want our kids to look up to!
