Reach for this book when your child feels like their voice doesn't matter because they are young, a girl, or from a family that struggles to make ends meet. It is an ideal choice for the student who loves science but feels discouraged by the 'rules' of who gets to be an expert. This beautifully illustrated biography follows Mary Anning, a girl in 19th-century England who spent her days scouring dangerous cliffs for 'curiosities.' While the world tried to overlook her contributions because of her gender and social class, Mary's persistence led to the discovery of the first ichthyosaur and changed how we understand the history of our planet. It is a powerful lesson in resilience, intellectual curiosity, and the quiet dignity of hard work, perfect for children ages 6 to 10.
