A Boy and a Jaguar Hardback picture book - 2014

de Rabinowitz, Alan; Catia Chien

As a child, Rabinowitz stuttered uncontrollably. But when he spoke to animals, he was fluent. Readers can follow the world-renowned wild cat conservationist' remarkable life as he finds a voice to speak for those who can't speak for themselves. Full color.

Resumen

Alan loves animals, but the great cat house at the Bronx Zoo makes him sad. Why are they all alone in empty cages? Are they being punished? More than anything, he wants to be their champion—their voice—but he stutters uncontrollably.

 

Except when he talks to animals…

 

Then he is fluent.

 

Follow the life of the man Time Magazine calls, "the Indiana Jones of wildlife conservation"as he searches for his voice and fulfills a promise to speak for animals, and people, who cannot speak for themselves. This real-life story with tender illustrations by Catia Chen explores truths not defined by the spoken word.
