Alan loves interacting with animals, but seeing the lonely female jaguar locked up in the Bronx zoo also makes him very sad. Alan tries to voice this, but his stutter makes it difficult to communicate clearly...that is unless Alan is speaking with animals. Alan finds out that his stutter seems to stop when he is talking to animals, and he uses this knowledge to make a big difference for the jaguars living in Belize. 

Uses some negative language.
“Disturbed”, “disruptive”, “will always be a stutterer”, “I still feel broken.”
The story focuses on Alan’s stutter, but it also highlights the amazing things that Alan accomplished, like creating the first-ever jaguar preserve in Belize.
