“It’s never too early to introduce youngsters to inspiring people who have changed the world.” —As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com
Meet three inspirational Earth Heroes whose love of the natural world inspires them to make a difference: Jane Goodall, Greta Thunberg, and David Attenborough! This boxed gift set of three hardback books from the internationally bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series introduces little dreamers to the lives of these incredible people who work to understand and protect this amazing planet.
In these remarkable true stories, learn how three very different people use their voice to speak up for animals and the environment.
- When Jane was little, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This inspired her lifelong love of animals, and after living with chimpanzees in their natural habitat, she now educates the public on animal rights.
- When young Greta learned of the climate crisis, she couldn't understand why people in power were not doing anything to save our Earth. But now, her ‘School Strike for Climate’ has inspired millions, and taught everyone her valuable message: ‘No one is too small to make a difference.’
- As a child, David spent hours in the science library, collating his own specimens and creating a mini animal museum. Now, he is loved all over the world for telling the untold stories of these animals.
