2015 Schneider Family Book Award Winner * "A candid and deeply resonant account of a hard-fought battle against societal stigma, and an embrace of one's true talent and calling."Ô__ã”Publisher's Weekly,Ô_starred review Speaking for the animals he loves gives one boy_ã_s life hope, purpose, and truth in this gorgeous picture book autobiography. Alan loves animals, but the great cat house at the Bronx Zoo makes him sad. WhyÔ_are theyÔ_all alone in empty cages? Are they being punished? More than anything, he wants to be their champion_ã”their voice_ã”but he stutters uncontrollably. Except when he talks to animals_ã_then he is fluent. Follow the life of the manÔ_Time MagazineÔ_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.Ô_This real-life story with tender illustrations by Catia Chien explores truths not defined by the spoken word.
