Out of School and Into Nature by Suzanne Slade illustrated by Jessica Lanan*

 Earlier this month I paged through Anna Comstock's Handbook of Nature Study and wrote a brief review about it. I had no idea the extent Mrs. Comstock had impacted the science world and educational world. Then I came upon this picture book . . .!

During a time period when women were not part of the science world, Anna ventured into it, proving that women were capable of being scientists, researchers and college professors. This picture book follows Anna from her childhood until her elderly age, celebrating her love for nature.

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
