Queens of the Jungle by Dr. Carly Anne York and Kimberlie Clinthorne-Wong
All available formats here

York and Clinthorne-Wong have collaborated on a wonderful volume packed full of information and beautiful illustrations, with so much to enjoy both visually and educationally – certainly I learned a number of things! Enjoy learning about the matriarchs of the animal queendom in this amazing book written for ages 8-12 – but all ages can enjoy the colorful illustrations and interesting facts.

Check out the book Kirkus Reviews described as “revelatory reading for audiences of every gender” and “applying the notion [of ‘girl power’] to dozens of animals.”
