5.0

I hated the cover art for this book and honestly wasn’t extremely excited to read it. However, it proved to be a exquisite biography about Rachel Carson - a marine biologist. The story was told in a poetic way that described her passion for nature and writing. Many topics introduced led to deep spin off conversations with me and my son. We read this along with our biology homeschool curriculum for the end of his 5th grade year & it was the perfect reading level. It also sparked an interest in my eco-friendly kid & he’s requested many of Rachel’s own books to read which were referenced within this story.
