This lively STEAM picture book is about the life of Gene Stratton-Porter, a pioneering wildlife photographer and popular author from the late 19th and early 20th century, who showed the world the beauty of nature, especially birds, and why it was worth preserving.
Gene Stratton-Porter was a farm girl who fell in love with birds, from the chickens whose eggs she collected to the hawks that preyed on them. When she grew up, Gene wanted nothing more than to share her love of birds with the world. She wrote stories about birds, but when a magazine wanted to publish them next to awkward photos of stuffed birds, she knew she had to take matters into her own hands. Teaching herself photography, Gene began to take photos of birds in the wild. Her knowledge of birds and how to approach them allowed her to get so close you could count the feathers of the birds in her photos. Her work was unlike anything Americans had ever seen before—she captured the true lives of animals in their natural habitat. A pioneering wildlife photographer and one of the most popular authors of the early 20th century, this bird girl showed the world the beauty of nature and why it was worth preserving.
Included in Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best Children's Books of
2022 In this real-life adventure, daredevil and groundbreaking
journalists Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland race against each
other-and the clock-as they circle the globe by ship, train, and
foot. Join these two stereotype-shattering reporters as they prove
that not only is traveling around the world possible, but that
women are just as curious, capable, and courageous as any man.
Nellie Bly was an energetic and eager reporter, but she wasn't able
to think of a good story for her editors. Wishing she was on the
other end of the earth, Nellie had an inspiration-she would travel
around the world, just like in the fictional adventure book Around
the World in Eighty Days. When a fellow journalist, Elizabeth
Bisland, heard about Nellie's plans, she decided to up the
stakes-by beating Nellie in her own race! This exciting American
history story about two pioneering women who paved the way for
equality will inspire young readers. The perfect choice for parents
and teachers looking for: Books for kids ages 7 - 10 about women's

'A call to arms for the next generation of eco-warriors, full of
practical ideas and activities to encourage wildlife and a love of
the natural world' - The Bookseller 'This is my pledge, my promise,
my vow, Lasting forever, starting now: I'll be a friend to nature.'
An illustrated book celebrating the natural world and ways to
appreciate it, filled with practical activities and ideas to help
wildlife and the environment on your doorstep and worldwide.
Starting with a pledge in poetic form, this book is a call to arms
for the next generation of peaceful eco warriors. Broken down into
sections of activities, each lyrically relates back to the metaphor
of being a friend to nature. The activities themselves are short,
easy, and fun, with a few more extensive projects mixed in. These
are interspersed with nature quotes, poetry, and other
thought-provoking musings, as well as pieces of simple non-fiction
information, such as the life cycle of a frog, a butterfly, a cross
section of a flowering plant, and why you should always wish on a
dandelion clock. The final section explores what nature can give
back to us in turn; that if we look after the natural world, we
will always have a friend in nature – a space to be calm, to
pause and think, to recharge, to bring us joy, amusement, and
health.
Meet Belle, a Parisian girl who goes on holiday to the countryside
and is eager to explore on her new bicycle. Soon, though, disaster
strikes: Belle falls off her bike and is lost and alone. Now it's
time to meet a talking bee! Yes, a bee who speaks! The talking bee
rescues Belle and they set off together... Follow the wonderful
adventure of Belle and the bee as they meet every kind of plant and
animal proud to call the countryside their home. Just like Belle,
you'll be amazed to discover how nature works: you'll never look at
the natural world around you in the same way again.
For take-charge girls in the making and fans of I Dissent and
Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice, this is the story of Jeannette
Rankin, the first US congresswoman. Jeannette Rankin was always a
take-charge girl. Whether taking care of horses or her little
brothers and sisters-Jeannette knew what to do and got the job
done. That's why, when she saw poor children living in bad
conditions in San Francisco, she knew she had to take charge and
change things. But in the early twentieth century, women like
Jeannette couldn't vote to change the laws that failed to protect
children. Jeannette became an activist and led the charge,
campaigning for women's right to vote. And when her home state,
Montana, gave women that right, Jeannette ran for Congress and
became America's first congressWOMAN!
