Rachel Carson’s writings helped spark the global environmental movement which would eventually lead to the establishment of Earth Day.
In celebration of Earth Day, this is a beautifully illustrated book about Rachel Carson’s life to share with your children.
It spans the time from the early childhood days in her poverty-stricken family to her persistence to learn more and more about the world of science. It tells of her education when few women entered the world of biology, and how she turned to writing to share her observations of the outdoors. It includes an extensive “epilogue” on what happened after the publication of her book, Silent Spring.
