Dragon Bones is a picture book biography of fossil-hunter Mary Anning, who discovered a dinosaur skeleton that changed the landscape of paleontology.
At home in her seaside town in England, little Mary Anning stared out her window. Unlike other children, Mary couldn't wait for a rainy day. Because when it rained... the bones were revealed. With her father and brother, Mary would go out searching the damp soil after a storm, with the hopes of finding something nobody had seen before: a dinosaur. After her father dies, Mary must continue her search, picking up his tools and venturing out alone. In her life, she discovered several creatures, but was never given credit...until recently. This eye-opening biography of the legendary Mary Anning, illustrated by Maris Wicks, shatters expectations and brings together two creators who are as passionate about their subject as they are about their art. Inspiring, this true adventure begs for re-reads.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Roaring Brook PressISBN-13:9781250140210ISBN-10:1250140218UPC:9781250140210Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Biography & Autobiography, Science & NatureBook Topic:Science & Technology, Women, FossilsSize:11.20 x 9.20 x 0.40 inchesWeight:1.0009Product ID:SCWQT9JE44
