Imagine
starting life out as a cold, hungry, abandoned Bengal tiger cub with no
one to care for you. For many young cubs this was a reality until Helen
Martini and her husband, Fred, brought the cubs home to care and nurture
them. Instead of raising children, they raised tigers! Their tremendous
compassion and love for these abandoned creatures led them to become zoo
keepers at the Bronx Zoo. Helen became the first woman zookeeper and established
the zoo’s first tiger nursery. Discover how this gentle woman made an impact
and earned the title Mother to Tigers. (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania
Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2004-2005) |
