Me... Jane
by Patrick McDonnell
published by Little, Brown
Me... Jane is a touching glimpse into the life of a young Jane Goodall as a curious girl with a love of nature, and books, and a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee. A unique combination of dreamy watercolor vignettes and nature-inspired vintage engravings complement a simple and evocative text. Every element of the book’s design, from its album-like cover and heavy yellowed pages to the inclusion of photographs and Goodall’s own childhood drawings, helps create a picture book that feels like a relative’s cherished scrapbook. Readers of all ages will take inspiration from a young girl who so fully follows her dreams.Find all the rest of the winners at the Cybils site and place your orders for a bunch of new kid-friendly, blogger-approved books to arrive at your doorstop.

This looks really cute, thanks!
Just bought this one. So glad it won!
Such a beautiful book! The drawings remind me of Mary Jo Scott.
Hooray for Me - Jane! On a related note, I saw the movie trailer for Chimpanzee while waiting with my daughter for The Secret World of Arrietty to begin. It looks outstanding! Can't wait to see it.
I also wanted to thank you for your comment at http://literarylunchbox.blogspot.com/ My son was thrilled to get so much encouragement and love from my fellow bloggers. Thank you!
Why was this book in the fiction category? It sure seems like nonfiction to me.
