In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies... but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether. When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in. Using the hashtag BugsR4Girls, scientists tweeted hundreds of times to tell Sophia to keep up her interest in bugs--and it worked! Sophia has since appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR, and she continues to share her love of bugs with others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“McNamara’s skillful text centers Spencer’s voice, while Kerascoët’s loose ink, colored pencil, and watercolor illustrations render \u003cb\u003ewinning details with emotional sensitivity\u003c\/b\u003e.” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Publishers Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Coauthored by fourthgrader Spencer, this memoir captures both the\u003cb\u003e personal exhilaration of sharing a passion\u003c\/b\u003e and the crushing disappointment when others misunderstand or belittle that devotion.” \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Booklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Inspirational \u003c\/b\u003efor young naturalists.” \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“Whether preaching to a bug-loving choir, promoting respect for others’ passions, or investigating a path toward middle-grade fame, \u003cb\u003ethis title will satisfy many audiences.\u003c\/b\u003e” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The Bulletin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“This book has \u003cb\u003ea great message for children\u003c\/b\u003e to stick with what they love, regardless of what others may think.” \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Resource Links\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"This book affected me so strongly — the first in 2020 to end up clutched to my chest.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSudbury Star\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to being passionate about bugs and all living creatures, \u003cstrong\u003eSophia Spencer\u003c\/strong\u003e loves climbing trees and exploring the world of math and science.

When a citywide contest solicited plans for creating a park out of barren swampland, Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted put their heads together to create the winning design, and the hard work of making their plans a reality began. By winter, the lake opened for skating. By the next summer, the waterside woodland known as the Ramble opened for all to enjoy. Meanwhile, sculptors, stone masons, and master gardeners joined in to construct thirty-four unique bridges, along with fountains, pagodas, and band shells, making New York's Central Park a green gift to everyone.

Sources for the factual material are credited, and a final page features photographs of Bentley at work and three of his actual snowflake slides.    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Horn Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWilson Bentley was fascinated by snow, in childhood and adulthood, and, practically speaking, is the one who 'discovered' snow crystals, by photographing them in all their variation. As a youngster, he was so taken with these little six-sided ice crystals that his parents scraped together their savings to buy him a camera with a microscope. From then on, despite his neighbors' amusement, he took hundreds of portraits of snowflakes. As an adult, he gave slide shows of his work, and when he was 66, a book was published of his photos - a book that is still in use today. Martin chronicles Bentley's life and his obsession in a main, poetic text, but provides additional facts in careful, snowflake-strewn sidebars. . . . This is a lyrical biographical tribute to a farmer, whose love of snow and careful camera work expanded both natural science and photography.                         \u003cstrong\u003e--Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis picture-book biography beautifully captures the essence of the life and passion of Wilson A.

He discovered that scientists, farmers, and doctors tended to disagree with one another about the naming of flora and fauna--the same plant might have several different titles. Linné wanted to bring order to this chaos, so he set out to create a convention from which to designate plants and animals. Linné classified and named more than 12,000 species of plants and animals, and his Latin classification system was accepted and used by scientists across the globe. What had seemed an\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003einsurmountable task was completed by Linné, portrayed here as a figure with a boundless imagination and fascination for nature.

Even as a tiny child in 18th-century Sweden, Karl Linne adored spending time in his family's garden. As he grew, he examined plants and bugs for hours while avoiding the stuffy confines of the schoolroom. As a medical student learning to use his beloved plants as remedies, he realized how chaotic scientific nomenclature really was at the time: no one agreed on specific names for plants and animals, nor was there even much general consensus about what type of living thing was what. Determined to bring order to the madness, Linne set out to classify the world's known plants and animals by giving each a clear and simple name--hardly an easy task given the vast diversity of living things. Yet classify life forms Linne did, in his usual painstaking way. Later in life, as a revered scientist, he classified even himself by adopting the--what else?--Latin\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ename Carolus Linnaeus, the name by which he is still known to this day. This is an interesting, clearly written, and accessible biography about a major yet lesser-known figure who revolutionized scientific thought. The charming pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations are bright and cheerful and work well with the narrative. A good introduction to a man in a class by himself.\u003cstrong\u003e-- \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as a baby in Sweden, Karl Linné (later Carolus Linnaeus) was drawn to bugs and plants; as he grew older, the system of nomenclature he's known for came about because of practical reasons: He studied hard and soon began using his\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ebeloved plants to cure people's ailments.

A poor student who was bored in school, Linnaeus was happiest outdoors -- including his parents' garden -- and he always wanted to know the names of plants and animals. Sanchez writes that his parents hoped he would become a scholar, lawyer, minister, or shoemaker. Fortunately for sciences, one of his teachers who noted his love of plants suggested that he become a doctor, using plants as medicine. The rest is nomenclature... and Sanchez describes how Linnaeus traveled and studied and named things, sometimes fighting with the scientific establishment -- and naming a foul-smelling weed after one such idiot and fool. The writing and illustrations are wonderful -- just right for a young child who is as curious about nature as was Linnaeus.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e--The Maine Organic Farmer \u0026amp; Gardener\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnita Sanchez\u003c\/b\u003e Anita Sanchez is the author of the picture book \u003ci\u003eLeaflets Three, Let it Be!: The Story of Poison Ivy\u003c\/i\u003e (Boyds Mills), as well as botany and history books for adults.

Marshall highlights not only Potter's career as a children's book illustrator and author but also her role as a trailblazing businesswoman, amateur scientist, and conservationist. In a time when women were not encouraged to have lives outside of the home, let alone run businesses, Potter paid to have the first copies of The Tale of Peter Rabbit published. She then merchandised her books through tea sets, games, and toys. Her ambitions didn't stop with children's books. Potter researched and illustrated an academic paper on how mushrooms reproduce and submitted it to scientists, only to have her work dismissed because she was a woman. Perhaps most remarkably, Potter was an ardent conservationist and purchased and then donated thousands of acres of farmland in England's Lake District to the National Trust.

She loved exploring outdoors, examining wildlife and learning nature's secrets. From watching the teamwork of marching ants to following the constellations in the sky, Anna observed it all. And her interest only increased as she grew older and went to college at Cornell University. There she continued her studies, pushing back against those social conventions that implied science was a man's pursuit. Eventually Anna became known as a nature expert, pioneering a movement to encourage schools to conduct science and nature classes for children outdoors, thereby increasing students' interest in nature. In following her passion, this remarkable woman blazed a trail for female scientists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby Suzanne Slade \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrated by Jessica Lanan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Age: 6-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSleeping Bear Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePub Date: March 15, 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9781585369867\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.6\" H x 10.1\" L x 10.3\" W \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sleeping Bear Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37832353808570,"sku":"9781585369867","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/products\/OutofSchoolandIntoNature.jpg?v=1668440736"},{"product_id":"the-comstocks-of-cornell-the-definitive-autobiography-by-anna-botsford-comstock","title":"The Comstocks of Cornell--The Definitive Autobiography by Anna Botsford Comstock","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Comstocks of Cornell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the autobiography written by the naturalist educator Anna Botsford Comstock about her life and that of her husband, the entomologist John Henry Comstock--both prominent figures in the scientific community and in Cornell University history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA first edition was published in 1953, but it omitted key Cornellians, historical anecdotes, and personal insights.

She would watch their wings flap, their beaks peck, and their eyes glint. At age six, her life was forever changed when she and a chicken she had been training to walk forwards and backwards were featured in the local news, and she realized that people want to see what is odd and strange in life. But while she loved birds of all varieties and kept several species around the house, it was the peacocks that came to dominate her life. Written by Amy Alznauer with devotional attention to all things odd and illustrated in radiant paint by Ping Zhu, The Strange Birds of Flannery O'Connor explores the beginnings of one author's lifelong obsession. Amy Alznauer lives in Chicago with her husband, two children, a dog, a parakeet, sometimes chicks, and a part-time fish, but, as of today, no elephants or peacocks. Ping Zhu is a freelance illustrator who has worked with clients big and small, won some awards based on the work she did for aforementioned clients, attracted new clients with shiny awards, and is hoping to maintain her livelihood in Brooklyn by repeating that cycle.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eLike \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/naturenurture.shop\/collections\/flannery-oconner\" title=\"Flannery O'Connor\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlannery O'Connor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, this gangly art object of a book tracing her first forays as a writer to an outsize fascination with the chickens in her childhood backyard is a \"strange bird,\" in the most wondrous of ways. \"There was something about strangeness,\" a young O'Connor realized after her trained bantam drew fame, \"that made people sit up and look.\" Alznauer pairs a grounded, authentic vernacular with a lyricism that takes flight, while Zhu's depiction of odd human proportions against brilliant brushstroke plumage stuns. -The New York Times\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\"In pitch-perfect harmony, writer Amy Alznauer and artist Ping Zhu honor the life of the prominent Georgia author and her affinity for the feathered species.

By studying something closely, such as the chickens and peacocks on her Milledgeville farm, O'Connor could always find \"some hidden strangeness, making it beautiful and funny and sad all at the same time.\" (Which could also describe her fiction.)

People didn't want to see any old chicken; they wanted a weird one. There was something about strangeness that made people sit up and look.\"There's a responsive touch of weirdness in Ping Zhu's artwork for this lovely book, with its glowing colors, bold shapes, and proportions that shift between realistic and outlandish.

With its memorable opening line, \"Right from the start young Flannery took a shine to chickens,\" the book celebrates her fascination with life's peculiarities--and death. The exaggerated scale and off-kilter perspectives of Zhu's illustrations align with the book's focus on eccentricity...The thoughtful design--at 12 inches square, as outsized as its subject--includes a type chosen because its designer, like O'Connor, had a love for drawing birds. A striking, quirky ode to a unique vision. --Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003eLike the best children's books, Alznauer's words recognize the cleverness of their audience; they never condescend or talk down. Zhu's work reminds us that illustrations shouldn't flatten the world either. Fluent in the grammar of both abstract and representational art, her work is full of dimension and color, symmetry and asymmetry, life and breath. The Strange Birds of Flannery O'Connor holds potential enough to inspire its youngest readers, and to stoke the smoldering embers of curiosity in its oldest. --Plough\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ipage.ingramcontent.com\/ipage\/servlet\/ibg.common.titledetail.pd1000?queryString=H4sIAAAAAAAAAKtWKk5RskpLzClO1VEqzs9XsiopKgUyC0qUrJSc8vOzlYDs4iolK0MDAyArByjq6efuqwRSDGS7-Pq5gNgFSlbR0YY6SkC2d2pleX5RSnxIZklOKkiupCgxLz1VISmzKKVYKTa2FgApeE1xcwAAAA\u0026amp;R=66827006\u0026amp;dNo=0#contributor_12871140\" data-href=\"#contributor_12871140\" class=\"doContributorSearch\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmy Alznauer'\u003c\/strong\u003es writing has won the Annie Dillard Award for Creative Nonfiction and the Christopher Award.
