Step Right Up

It is rare for a book of this kind and size to fill me with awe and hope and thanksgiving as much as the story of Doc and Jim Key has. An incredible true story of kindness and connection between humans and our other animal brethren. An outstanding picture-book biography, wonderfully researched (and cited!), and gorgeously illustrated. Teachers and librarians: please add this book to your syllabi and collections. The world will be better for the children having read it.
