Description
This stunning novel celebrates the joy of discovery and finding wonder in the world around us. Three girls, each living in a different time period, grow up to become groundbreaking scientists.
From Maria Merian's meticulous observations of caterpillars to Mary Anning's fossil discoveries, and from Maria Mitchell's mapping of the stars to her identification of a new comet, this book vividly imagines the lives of these trailblazing women. Told in vibrant, evocative poems, their stories come alive as they uncover secrets of the natural world.
With its beautiful language and inspiring themes, "Finding Wonders" is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars or watched an insect transform before your eyes.
