" Each one of us makes a difference. We cannot live through a single day without making an impact on the world around us- and we have choice as to what sort of difference we make"
- Jane Goodall

Along with its historical aspect, this story describes the adventures of a little girl who would one day group up to become not only an environmentalist but also a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
