Me...Jane by Patrick McDonnell

 

In addition to writing several picture books, Patrick McDonnell has created the comic strip Mutts.  Me...Jane is about Dr. Jane Goodall and her dreams as a child that led her to grow up to work with animals.

I found this book inspiring for me personally and I shared it with my students to show them the importance of finding ones passion in life.
