| Summary |
"Baby Jane's Mission" by Reginald Parnell is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Baby Jane, an eight-year-old girl with a kind heart and a desire to help others, particularly the wild animals in Africa. Her mission is to teach these creatures how to be happy and friendly through activities like dancing, games, and developing friendships. At the start of the narrative, Baby Jane embarks on her adventure in the African desert, where she feels a sense of compassion for the wild beasts and the mischief of local children. She notices their unhappiness and decides to lend her expertise in dance to entertain and educate them, beginning with an amusing encounter with a bear. Her interactions with different animals lay the groundwork for her plan to foster kindness and joy in a once-hostile environment. The opening illustrates Baby Jane’s determination and playful nature amidst her encounters with various creatures, hinting at the whimsical and heartwarming journey that lies ahead.
