Discover Jane Goodall's big ideas about conserving habitats and ways even the youngest kids can help, too!
Even little children can make a positive impact on the environment.

She began to teach others how we can enjoy nature while also making sure that the homes of animals aren’t suffering.
Kids will come away from this book with questions about what animal habitats they can care for in their own community, and how conservation work makes sure all people and animals have a healthy home.
