Synopsis

Book by Thimmesh Catherine

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Sweet’s exuberant collages add both information and visual energy to lively profiles of more than a dozen female adults or children who have Found Something Significant... Thimmesh makes a convincing case for the idea that the thrill of discovery is a feeling anyone can have." Kirkus Reviews, Starred

"The lively design and the mixed-media collage artwork is a creative delight, and the intricate ink-and-watercolor borders, inventive paintings, and childlike pictures will draw readers in. The best thing about the book, however, is Thimmesh's sparkling writing style, which celebrates women's curiosity and skill." Booklist, ALA

Présentation de l'éditeur :

They study the night sky, watch chimpanzees in the wild, search the beach for rare fossils, and wander into dark caves. And as they explore, they become discoverers. Young and old, they are women and girls who discover the origins of counting and writing, Stone Age cave art, mysterious matter in the universe, and how a puddle of water can be sanitized when heated by the sun.
