Magic in a Drop of Water: How Ruth Patrick Taught the World about Water Pollution book cover. Written by Julie Winterbottom and illustrated by Susan Reagan
I love the first line in this @jwbottom.bsky.social book: “When Ruth Patrick was five years old, she fell in love with pond scum.” The paintings by Susan Reagan contain marvelous details of aquatic life. Patrick’s fortitude against gender discrimination in science will inspire all ages. #PBreview
I love, love, love Kate DiCamillo. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to listen.
Check out all the amazing prizes for the upcoming Halloweensie contest through Susanna Leonard Hill. #kidlit #canscaip #SCBWI
