Jane Goodall: My First Jane Goodall

My First Jane Goodall is a new young reader book in the series Little People, Big Dreams.  Written by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara and illustrated by Beatrice Cerocchi, it's due out 6th Aug, 2019 from Quarto publishing on their Frances Lincoln imprint.  Aimed at the youngest readers, it's 24 pages, perfect for a storytime or read-to-me read.  It's available as a boardbook.

I really love that this book shows young Lucy working for her dreams and gives background about her early life.  Bonus points for a cameo from Louis Leakey on pages 8-9. <3

The book (and the series) is very high quality and the art by Beatrice Cerocchi is lovely and expressive (without being fussy). These boardbooks in the 'my first' series have made really well received shower gifts for my friends and colleagues who are expecting or have new babies.


Five stars, really well done.
