The amazing story of a curious girl who became a pioneer in the field of entomology and scientific illustration.
Maria Sibylla Merian was fascinated with insects. But when Maria was a girl in the mid-1600s, superstitions about bugs prevented most people from taking a close look. People thought bugs were evil--and anyone interested in such creatures was surely evil too. That didn't stop Maria. Filled with curiosity, she began to study and paint them. She even witnessed silkworms form cocoons and transform into moths--discovering metamorphosis! Painting and drawing as she studied, Maria pushed the boundaries of what girls were expected to do, eventually gaining recognition as one of the first entomologists and scientific illustrators. This gorgeously illustrated biography celebrates a fascinating female pioneer who broke boundaries in both the arts and sciences.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Albert Whitman & CompanyISBN-13:9780807592571ISBN-10:807592579UPC:9780807592571Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Biography & AutobiographyBook Topic:Science & Technology, Art, WomenSize:10.10 x 8.20 x 0.60 inchesWeight:0.8Product ID:SCC9F0R2WP
