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.
