About this title

Synopsis

From a small town in Pennsylvania came a little girl who saw the magic in spring fog and heard the ocean’s song in her heart. This girl would one day become the groundbreaking author ofSilent Spring. InRachel Carson, readers will experience all the enchantment of nature as seen through the eyes of the budding environmental scientist. Thomas Locker’s lyrical paintings re-create important scenes in her life and are accompanied by memorable quotes from Carson. Joseph Bruchac’s poetically rendered biography is a genuine reflection of the gentle nature and inspirational voice of one of the most important women in conservation history. Includes excerpts from Carson’s work and a time line of major events.
