This picture book biography tells the story of Meg Lowman, a
groundbreaking female scientist called a "real life Lorax" by
National Geographic, who was determined to investigate the
marvelous, undiscovered world of the rainforest treetops. Meg
Lowman was always fascinated by the natural world above her head -
the colors, the branches, and, most of all, the leaves and
mysterious organisms living there. Meg set out to climb up and
investigate the rain forest tree canopies - and to be the first
scientist to do so. But she encountered challenge after challenge.
Male teachers would not let her into their classrooms, the high
canopy was difficult to get to, and worst of all, people were
logging and clearing the forests. Meg never gave up or gave in. She
studied, invented, and persevered, not only creating a future for
herself as a scientist, but making sure that the rainforests had a
future as well. Working closely with Meg Lowman, author Heather
Lang and artist Jana Christy beautifully capture Meg's world in the
treetops.
