Speaking for the animals he loves gives one boys 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. Why are they all alone in empty cages? Are they being punished? More than anything, he wants to be their championtheir voicebut he stutters uncontrollably.

Except when he talks to animalsthen he is fluent.

Follow the life of the man Time Magazine 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. This real-life story with tender illustrations by Catia Chien explores truths not defined by the spoken word.
