Jane Goodall read by Cristina Mittermeier

Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed of living with animals in faraway Africa. Her name was Jane. Jane Goodall was a secretary when her boss offered her the unique opportunity to travel to Africa and observe chimpanzees. Jane, who adored animals as a girl, traveled to Gombe where she spent three months observing, and spending time with the primates. Some of what she observed rocked the scientific community around the world, shaping how we understand the animal kingdom today.
