Caldecott Honor
Me…Jane tells the semi-true story of Jane, a young girl with a passion for animals and wildlife. The book tells of the wonders of curiosity and following one‘s passion and dreams.
This book would be perfect for launching a unit about jungle animals and nature, leading to a discussion to see what students are interested in.
“To awake one day to her dream come true”

“Jane could feel her own heart beating, beating, beating“ I love this quote as it lets the reader know that what she is doing brings her so much joy and she never wants it to end.

“Me...Jane“ is a great book to use with any aged children as it gives a beginning insight into who Jane Goodall is. This can be used when talking about her and her amazing work with chimpanzees, but it also just has a great theme about following your dreams will eventually get you exactly where you want to be.

“Me...Jane“ is written by Patrick McDonnell and was published in 2011 winning the Caldecott honor in 2012. It follows a young girl named Jane as she finds her love for animals and the way they live and how to help them. As she grows, she realizes how she was meant to help animals and that is all she dreams about, and in the end, she did. This book is a biography as Jane Goodall (the little girl) is a real animal conservationist.

“At night Jane would tuck Jubilee into bed, say her prayers, and fall asleep... to awake one day... to her dream come true.“

“Me...Jane“ contains a very simple message: follow your dreams! This book describes the love and passion Jane feels for animals and nature, a passion which many students can probably relate to. This book may spark discussions in the classroom about what passions or hobbies students might have and how they can work to achieve their dreams.

“Me... Jane“ was written and illustrated by Patrick McDonnell in 2010 and received a Caldecott Honor is 2011. This children's book is a biography about Jane Goodall. This biography tells Jane's story about her fascination and love for animals and nature, and how her dreams came true. The illustrations “oriental engravings“, which represent Jane's passion for detailed, scientific observations of nature.

“Jane could feel her own heart beating, beating, beating“

I can think of two ways this book would be good to use in a classroom, first I would use it on a unit for science about exploration and inquiry, this book shows who Jane has questions and she explores to find the answers. I would also use this book as a lesson on following your dreams and working towards your goals, the book shows Jane dreaming of working with chimpanzees as a young girl then accomplishing this dream at the end of the story.

This book won the Caldecott award in 2012, it tells a story of a woman Jane and her fascination on animals and everything about them, Jane has a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee who she keeps with her as she explores life and learns more about animals and the way things work, like how a chicken lays an egg. She dreams about working in Africa one day and at the end we see that this dream comes true for her as she works with chimpanzees

My favorite part was how she snuck into the chicken coop

“The life of each one of us matters in the scheme of things, and I encourage everyone, especially young people, to make the world a better place for people, animals, and the environment.”

Quote:
“...to awake one day...to her dream come true.“

Review:

Blurb: I loved this book because it is about a girl and her stuffed animal chimpanzee who go on adventures and learn about the world around them. The girl Jane dreams about living in Africa and working with the animals there, but one day she wakes up and her dream becomes a reality.

Me... Jane by Patrick McDonnell is the B of the inspiring Jane Goodall. It presents students to one of the most famous anthropologist and primatologist of the world. McDonnell won a Caldecott for this beautifully written and illustrated book that showcases Goodall‘s beginnings and how she fell in love with the animals she would come to protect later on in life. The teaching strategy I‘d most likely use with my students would be SR. #UCFLAE3414F19

"Alligator Society"

I love how you watched Jane's confidence and emotions grow stronger and stronger every page.

One of my favorite parts about this book was that it has excerpts of Jane Goodall's autobiography in it. I would love to read this children to kids as a way to show them the difference between a biography and autobiography. The pictures were beautiful and the story was heartwarming as you saw Jane's hopes and dreams come to life one page turn at a time.

RATING 3.6/5

Me...Jane (B) by Patrick McDonnell, a Caldecott Medal winner, would be a great book to do Independent Reading (IR) with. In this biography, a young Jane Goodall explores the natural world around her with her stuffed chimpanzee, Jubilee. Jane dreams of living and working with animals, until one day when her dream comes true. While the students are independently reading, they can fill out a graphic organizer with the main idea, characters, setting,

These are my daughter‘s books from Little Feminist Book Club. Every book they send features a female lead character or lead character of color (sometimes both). They strive to put diverse books in the hands of children whose parents may not be able to find them otherwise. They are an awesome subscription and their YouTube had some unfair comments recently. If you get the chance maybe watch their intro video and comment or subscribe. #feminist

A great book for children to read and realize that dreams do and can come true!!

A true story of once a little girl who loved animals. It all started with her doing everything with her stuffed animal monkey, Jubilee. Exploring animals and their habitats, Jane wanted to help animals in Africa and could have only dreamed of it. A dream came true and Jane traveled to help animals. Award: Caldecott Medal; Published: 2011 Illustrator: Patrick McDonnell

“It was a magical world full of joy and wonder, and Jane felt very much a part of it.”

Caldecott honor book. This book is a great encouraging story for young readers. It takes a story about being able to live your life and do what you dream from a fiction hypothetical to reality. You too can have a dream and an interest and pursue it to its fullest. If Jane could do it, so can you.

Me... Jane by Patrick McDonnell, 1976. This story is about the childhood of Jane Goodall and all of the aspirations she had to explore nature and animals. This story is wonderfully told and illustrated. The illustrations combine print engravings, simple watercolor paintings, and even some drawings from a young Jane Goodall herself. All of these work together to show the passion behind the person and the adventure she finds in everything.

#lae3414sp19 The book “Me...Jane” (NF) by Patrick McDonnell (Caldecott Honor) is a heartwarming story about Jane Goodall as a child. As a child she loved her stuffed animal monkey Jubilee along with every animal in nature. The book showcases Jane‘s love for nature and animals and how she followed her dreams to perusing that career as an adult.

Not 100% sure but I think this was Parker‘s second book from #littlefeministbookclub it came with a magnifying glass that was large to be easy for little hands to hold but did actually work. Parker really likes this book. #janegoodall #childrensbooks #diversity #diversechildrenslibrary #littlefeminist

I loved this. The mixture of great art and photographs, the age-appropriate text, which is difficult to do in a picture book biography, the unique take on the subject, and the inclusion of the subject‘s own words in the afterword -all brilliant. This is deserving of the Caldecott honor it received.

In this Caldecott Honor book, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of young Jane Goodall and how her love for animals, specifically chimpanzees, started. In the Nonfiction Biography, they explain how she started with a stuffed animal chimpanzee and later found her passion. Beautiful illustrations and very simple to follow. Great book for a science lesson or a lesson on biographies. #UCFLAE3414SP18

This is a NF that was awarded a charlotte zolotow award in 2012 and I would use this book in a literature circle to present themes within the book https://www.suzyred.com/pbks2012_Me_Jane.html. An ESOL strategy that I would use would be 45 and UDL 2.1 #ucflae3414f17

I should have read this a long time ago. I adored the graphic novel PRIMATES, also about Jane in part.

"When Jane Goodall was ten years old, she decided that when she grew up she would go to Africa, live with the animals, and write about them. Almost everyone told her this goal was impossible. But her mother encouraged her to follow her dream..."

This is #WhereIRead if I'm not reading in bed. I just scored these books from the library this morning. I'll probably dig into this thriller and picture books in an hour or so. Can't wait! #riotgrams #bookhaul #librarystack

Ugh, too good. A picture book about Jane Goodall. JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

2012 Caldecott winner, I think it was an honor title, gifted to my daughter.
