A biography of Rachel Carson interspersed with her own memorable quotes. - Perseus Publishing
Winner of Learning magazineâs Teacherâs Choice Award
From a small town in Pennsylvania came a little girl who saw the magic in spring fog and heard the oceanâs song in her heart. This was the girl who one day would become the groundbreaking author of Silent Spring. In this engaging biography, now updated, young readers will experience the enchantment of nature as seen through the eyes of the budding naturalist, while learning about her childhood, her accomplishments, and her passion for nature. Combining Thomas Lockerâs majestic artwork with Joseph Bruchacâs poetic text, Rachel Carson offers an educational and inspiring account of her life. Includes excerpts from Carsonâs work and a timeline of major events.
