"With Caldecott-winning illustrator Blackall's signature delicate art . . . a beautifully told, gentle account of a very important person in history, nature, and conservation." -School Library Journal

"An absolute joy to read." -Book Riot

Rachel was a girl who loved

science and the sea,

books and writing

and all the creatures of the world.

Rachel was quiet,

a listener by nature.

But when she saw problems,

she could not remain silent.

Some people thought girls

shouldn't be scientists.

They thought girls

shouldn't use their voices

to question or challenge,

even to protect

all the creatures of the world.

Luckily Rachel didn't listen

to them.
