Dragon Bones is a picture book biography of fossil-hunter Mary
Anning, who discovered a dinosaur skeleton that changed the landscape of
paleontology.
At home in her seaside town in England, little Mary Anning stared out
her window. Unlike other children, Mary couldn't wait for a rainy day.
Because when it rained... the bones were revealed.
With her father and brother, Mary would go out searching the damp soil
after a storm, with the hopes of finding something nobody had seen
before: a dinosaur.
After her father dies, Mary must continue her search, picking up his
tools and venturing out alone. In her life, she discovered several
creatures, but was never given credit...until recently.
This eye-opening biography of the legendary Mary Anning, illustrated by
Maris Wicks, shatters expectations and brings together two creators who
are as passionate about their subject as they are about their art.
Inspiring, this true adventure begs for re-reads.
