Paul R. Gagne and Melissa Reilly Ellard for “Me...Jane”

Me...Jane

About

91ý

This transcendent adaptation of Patrick McDonnell’s 2012 Caldecott Honor draws viewers into the childhood of a young Jane Goodall who, with beloved stuffed chimpanzee, Jubilee, is transformed by what she observes in her own backyard, a “magical world full of joy and wonder.”
Paul and Sandra Fierlinger’s animation enriches the book’s artwork with additional vintage nature prints and Goodall’s original journal pages. These were seamlessly integrated with Katherine Kellgren’s expressive narration and Shay E. Lynch’s captivating score to produce an emotional blend of reality and dreams.
