VIRGINIA MCKENNA OBE starred in the iconic film Born Free with her husband Bill Travers before setting up Zoo Check in 1984. Zoo Check later became the registered charity The Born Free Foundation, which takes action around the world to rescue vulnerable animals from appalling lives of misery in tiny cages in zoos, and give them lifetime care in spacious bush sanctuaries. As well as travelling extensively around the world in her work with Born Free, Virginia has authored many books and speaks at numerous events, while supporting many other charitable organisations. Dr Jess French is a vet, conservationist and star presenter of the CBeebies show, Minibeast Adventures. She is the recipient of the Jane Goodall Global Youth Leadership award for her work teaching children about environmental issues, and is an avid traveller, bug-spotter and animal lover. She has written several books for children, but Slow Down, Monkey! is her debut picture book.
