It all seemed like a dream, until I saw a giraffe, who stared directly at me. It had dark eyes, long lashes, a black tongue, and was chewing acacia thorns.

pick#ucflae3414f17 I absolutely loved this picture book biography about Jane Goodall! Author Brad Meltzer has an entire series of biographies that are perfect for the elementary level. Biographies can be intimidating and appear boring, especially to children, but this particular book kept my attention with the bright illustrations and beautiful message about Jane following her dreams and spreading the message that humans do not own the earth, we share
Saw this on Instagram and had to share. ❤️
