The Watcher: Jane Goodall’s Life with the Chimps
FROM SARAH:
Carole Boston Weatherford tells this fascinating story in narrative poetry, wherein each poem can stand alone as a snapshot in Schomburg’s life. That means the book can be read straight through, or one short poem at a time. I’d recommend it for ages 7 and up as there is a hefty amount of text on each page.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Follow Jane from her childhood in London watching a robin on her windowsill, to her years in the African forests of Gombe, Tanzania, invited by brilliant scientist Louis Leakey to observe chimps, to her worldwide crusade to save these primates who are now in danger of extinction, and their habitat. Young animal lovers and Winter's many fans will welcome this fascinating and moving portrait of an extraordinary person and the animals to whom she has dedicated her life.
