PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Emily Arnold McCully is a Caldecott Award-winning author and illustrator. Her books for Holiday House include In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb by Marion Dane Bauer and Ballerina Swan by Allegra Kent, as well as 3, 2, 1, Go!, Pete Won't Eat and Little Ducks Go, which she both wrote and illustrated.
The concise text includes well-chosen details and quotes that help create a multifaceted personality on the page, while letting young readers know how limited the options were for an eighteenth-century woman and how close Herschel came to living her life in obscurity, knitting socks and scrubbing pans. The appealing illustrations--pen-and-ink drawings with watercolor washes--bring the historical settings to life. An engaging introduction to a notable woman in astronomy.--Booklist, Starred Review An inspiring tale of scientific discovery despite obstacles, with a feminist point of view.--Kirkus Reviews
