As a pangolin, though, she is in danger as she grows up and ventures out alone into the forest, because her scales are prized by humans who believe they have curative powers.

To the rescue comes a small girl who knows that pangolins are friendly fellow creatures who have feelings too. Legendary naturalist Jane Goodall’s many followers and
