Introduce your brilliant baby to the marine biologist, author, and
conservationist Rachel Carson.
Rachel Carson was a marine biologist who wrote three popular books about
ocean life. She wrote Silent Spring to tell people about the dangers
of pesticides, which might kill so many birds that none would be left to
sing in the spring. Some people didn't believe what she said, but
President John F. Kennedy was one of the people who listened to her.
Rachel's work brought about change, and she is considered the mother of
the modern environmental movement. Kate Coombs' engaging narrative and
Seth Lucas' captivating art teach young readers about this inspiring
conservationist, encouraging little naturalists to Be Kind and Be
Adventurous.
