The kids and I spent yesterday at Boston’s Museum of Science exploring The Remarkable World of Jane Goodall. We knuckle walked, sat in a chimpanzee nest, fished for termites, practiced our pant-hooting, and wandered through a facsimile of Gombe Streams National Park, stopping, of course, in Jane’s comfy tent along the way. I left even more in awe of this woman who is so passionate about chimpanzees and discovery and making the world a better place.
And so I am going to share a small list of my favorite Jane Goodall treasures. Explore and enjoy!
• Jane’s autobiography for young readers, MY LIFE WITH THE CHIMPANZEES, is a must-read;
• Jane’s autobiography for adult readers, THROUGH A WINDOW, is equally enjoyable;
• ROOTS AND SHOOTS, a program of The Jane Goodall Institute, empowers young people to make the world a better place;
• Jane’s Four Reasons for Hope, is an essay worth reading.
