You Are a Star, Jane Goodall

Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep fascination with animals or feels like their unique interests don't quite fit in with the crowd. This energetic biography reframes Jane Goodall's life not just as a history lesson, but as a roadmap for staying curious and resilient. By blending a first-person narrative with humorous comic panels, Dean Robbins makes a legendary scientist feel accessible and relatable to elementary-aged readers. While the book covers Jane's groundbreaking work with chimpanzees, its true emotional core is the power of observation and the courage to follow an unconventional path. It is perfectly suited for children ages 6 to 10 who are developing their own hobbies and need to see how patience and kindness can lead to world-changing discoveries. Parents will appreciate how it balances fun, modern illustrations with essential facts about conservation and scientific integrity.
