We can all be heroes. That’s the inspiring message of this New York Times bestselling biography series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. Learn all about Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee scientist.
 
Each entry in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that makes the person a role model for kids. The heroes tell their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement and a direct quote. This tenth audiobook in the series features Jane Goodall, the scientist and conservationist who is famous for her work with chimpanzees.
