In his characteristic heartwarming style, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of "a life living with and helping all animals," until one day she finds that her dream has come true.

Dr. Jane is a Dame of the British Empire, UN Messenger of Peace and the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute. The mission of the Jane Goodall Institute is to understand and protect chimpanzees, other apes, and their habitats, and to work towards creating an informed and compassionate society who will help to create a better world for people, other animals, and our shared environment.
