Description

Mary Anning was a remarkable girl who changed the way we understand the ancient world. As a baby, she was struck by lightning, and as a little girl, she made a discovery that would make her famous.

Her find, a fossilised sea monster, was a major breakthrough in the field of natural history. Beautiful illustrations and narrative text bring Mary's story to life, showing how she followed her dreams and made a name for herself as a scientist.

Despite her achievements, Mary's work was not widely recognised until after her death. This book tells her inspiring story, highlighting her courage and determination as a woman in a male-dominated field. It's a story that will appeal to readers young children and parents alike, and is perfect for anyone interested in dinosaurs and the natural world.
