From family pets, to friends’ pets, to animals in the zoo, Berlin enjoys all creatures, large or small. She has adopted a baby elephant and even portrayed Jane Goodall for a school project. Her zealous love of animals sometimes makes her a bit different from her classmates, but her parents always allow her to be true to herself. Besides her love of animals, Berlin loves to read. Will these two joys of her life shape the adult Berlin will become?
