| Plot Summary of My Life with Chimpanzees |
|---|
"Jane Goodall was born in London and was always interested in animals. When she was about twenty-three, she had a friend who invited her to Africa. Jane was supposed to stay for a month. Of course Jane jumped all over this idea and went off to Africa to begin a big adventure.
Jane Goodall loved Africa so much that she decided to move there. Jane's mother missed Jane so she went out to Africa to see Jane for a month. Mother and daughter worked very well together. Lots of writing had to be done and they worked late into the night writing about all the things the chimpanzees had done that day."
Maura O'Brien, Resident Scholar
