PICTURE BOOK STORYTIME: JUST WILD ENOUGH!

For Mireya Mayor, even as a young child whose house was filled with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, a chicken, and a snapping turtle, nothing was quite wild enough. Older, she traded her pompoms as a cheerleader for the National Football League for the swamps of the South American jungle. The first woman wildlife TV reporter for National Geographic, she traveled the world, but things still weren’t quite wild enough. It was only when Mireya went to Madagascar that things FINALLY got wild enough. MARTA MAGELLAN’s Just Wild Enough: Mireya Mayor, Primatologist, the biography of the woman who convinced the prime minister of Madagascar to make the mouse lemur’s rainforest a protected national park is an inspiring – and wild story.
