Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-30 00:00:00 Sean Macke Beautiful picture book introduction to Rachel Carson. The paintings are gorgeous, and the simple text had me from page one: "Once there was a child whose love of nature would one day lead her to write a book that changed our world." In Rachel Carson I've found my spirit animal in the form of a writer/biologist. She's a kindred spirit and the hero I wish I'd learned about as a child. All the more reason I'm glad there are books like this for children today. "..like Rachel, somewhere a child watches and listens and cares for this earth as she keeps her sense of wonder."

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-28 00:00:00 Melissa Petsch Not only are the paintings in this book gorgeous, but the story of Rachel Carson is simply stated and beautiful. What a lovely way to introduce children to the woman who changed the minds of millions with regards to the environment. Thomas Locker portrays her in art in such a special way that can only be characterized by his own touch.
