Named a Best Children's Book of 2017 by Parents magazine
Eugenie Clark fell in love with sharks from the first moment she saw
them at the aquarium. She couldn't imagine anything more exciting than
studying these graceful creatures. But Eugenie quickly discovered that
many people believed sharks to be ugly and scary--and they didn't think
women should be scientists.
Determined to prove them wrong, Eugenie devoted her life to learning
about sharks. After earning several college degrees and making countless
discoveries, Eugenie wrote herself into the history of science, earning
the nickname "Shark Lady." Through her accomplishments, she taught the
world that sharks were to be admired rather than feared and that women
can do anything they set their minds to.
An inspiring story by critically acclaimed zoologist Jess Keating about
finding the strength to discover truths that others aren't daring enough
to see. Includes a timeline of Eugenie's life and many fin-tastic shark
facts!
