The True Story of the Bronx Zoo's First Woman Zookeeper
Fred and Helen Martini always longed for a baby of their own, but they never expected to end up raising dozens of wild animals! When Fred, a zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo, brings home a tiny, helpless lion cub, Helen immediately knows what to do. She feeds little MacArthur from a bottle and coos him to sleep in a cozy crib. Before long, MacArthur is not the only wild cat taking up residence in their home. The couple begins raising tigers and other lion cubs right in their own bathtub until they are strong enough to return to the zoo. This beautiful, true story follows Helen's journey to becoming the very first female zookeeper and nursery keeper at the Bronx Zoo. It is a heartwarming tale of dedication, care, and a very special kind of family.
