(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
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 4th Oct, 2018 from Quarto publishing Frances Lincoln imprint. Aimed at younger readers, it's 32 pages, perfect for a storytime or classroom circle read. It's available in hardcover format.
I really love that this book shows young Lucy working for her dreams and give background about her early life. Bonus points for a cameo from Louis Leakey <3
Included at the end of the book is a very short bibliography for further suggested reading.
The book (and the series) is very high quality and the art by Beatrice Cerocchi is lovely and expressive (without being fussy).
Five stars, really well done.

I love these little books.
They have such a great message for kids.
Jane did not have the money to go to University right away, so instead she worked hard, proved herself, got her education (as well as real life experience) and became a leading figure in her field.
Showing kids that with hard work and determination you can achieve anything.
I love the illustrations and think this is a great book to add to your child's library.

Yo, it's the chimp lady, who is only treated as the chimp and a climate change lady. This is one more of those "She had nothing, but she tried so hard, that she was able to get an education". And it will forever be questionable to me about why they let her just hang out with a chimpanzees as someone, who did not have a proper education.

I thought this did a great job of distilling a lot of I formation quickly. I feel like these are always better when the person she’s writing about has lived longer. I enjoyed this one, and I would recommend.

Little People, Big Dreams is a wonderful collection of books about famous and influential females!
Jane Goodall’s story shows how despite not having enough money to get an education she could still live out her dream of studying chimpanzees.
I read this story with my class after reading “The one and only Ivan”. They really enjoyed!

Another great addition to the Little People, Big Dream series. I'd highly recommend for any young child who you want to introduce to great historical figures. Goodall's in particular is great for children who love animals. Also cool is that they list a few other children's biography books about the person on the back cover.

I love these picture book introductions to famous women of history.
And I espcially love that I learned things about Jane Goodall that I didn't know before.
Little things, such as she received a stuffed monkey as a child, and that was the start of her being interested in chimps and apes
Or that the professor that she worked with in Africa was Louis Leakey, the man who discovered Lucy, one of the most improtant fossil finds on ancient human kind.
Great little book, and a good introduction to the work that Jane Goodall did to get she is. I recommend this book for home and classroom.
