Winner of "Learning "magazine's Teacher's Choice Award
From a small town in Pennsylvania came a little girl who saw the
magic in spring fog and heard the ocean's 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 Locker's majestic artwork with Joseph Bruchac's
poetic text, "Rachel Carson" offers an educational and inspiring
account of her life. Includes excerpts from Carson's work and a
timeline of major events.
Joseph Bruchac, co-author of The Keepers of the Earth series, is
a nationally acclaimed Native American storyteller and writer who
has authored more than seventy books of fiction, nonfiction, and
poetry for adults and children. He lives in upstate New York.
Thomas Locker has illustrated more than thirty books, many of
which he has written, including "Skytree," "Walking with Henry,"
"John Muir," and "Hudson: The Story of a River." His books have
received many awards, including the Christopher Award, the
Knickerbocker Lifetime Achievement Award, the John Burroughs Award,
and "The New York Times" Award for best illustration.
