Part of the critically acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the amazing life of Jane Goodall, the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees.

When Jane was little, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This inspired her lifelong love of animals, and she went to study them in the wild as soon as she could.

Jane lived with chimpanzees in their natural habitat and became famous for her pioneering approach to research. She now educates the public on animal rights and campaigns for environmental issues around the world.

​This moving book features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the primatologist's life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.

From the Publisher

Discover the amazing life of Jane Goodall, the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees!

When she arrived, Jane met a well-known scientist called Louis Leakey. He was looking for a chimpanzee researcher willing to study them in the wild.

Jane’s talent was quickly recognised by Cambridge University. Here, she studied for her doctorate in animal behavior.

And the little girl who loved animals challenges us to be kind to nature. Because if chimpanzees can live in harmony with their environment, we can, too.

¡Hola! My name is Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and I’m a writer and creative director from Barcelona. When I was a little girl, I used to read books under the covers with a flashlight once my mom had turned the light off. I always wanted to be a writer… but when I grew up, I ended up in advertising. It was a lot of fun though; I loved working with directors, photographers, designers, and I also wrote scripts, documentaries and texts for all kind of things.

Then, I decided to self-publish a book that had been in my mind for a long time. One day, one thousand copies of the book arrived at my home – I had no idea what I was going to do with them! I opened a little online shop, offered them to some pretty stores in my neighborhood and, one by one, I sold them all. Soon, publishing houses started to approach me to write books, but I was working on another idea of my own: a series about little people with BIG dreams.

This is a short and sweet children’s book focused on Jane Goodall, a conservationist known as the world’s leading expert on chimpanzees.

Maria Vegara again weaves simple words to capture another story of a little girl who grew up to do extraordinary things.

The charming and refreshing illustration in this book should spark curiosity for animals in the little ones.

I LOVE the Little People, Big Dreams collection, and this one about Jane Goodall was no exception. I buy one of these books for each of my nieces every birthday/Christmas, and they are always so excited to read them. I've been getting them since the girls were 3-5 years old. They're great for reading with them, or for kids learning to read on their own. The concepts might be complicated, but the language and presentation make it perfect for kids. My niece recently took this one to show and tell, and now some of her friends have asked for them too! As well as being interesting and educational, the hard backs and cotton-bound spine make them feel special and grown up, to be treasured.
