Rachel Carson (Women in Science) – Booklist
Wheeler’s biography is both in-depth and accessible to young readers. Rachel Carson built her career on the premise that all living things are connected and that humankind’s actions are not without impact on nature. . . . . Readers will be impressed to learn that she began writing at a very young age and had her first story published by a magazine when she was 11. . . . . A surprising amount of text is packed onto each page, but a prevalence of modern and historic photos keep things lively. Kids can also explore the connectedness of nature that Carson celebrated by building their own terrarium per directions in the appendix.
