An beautiful picture book/biography of scientist Ruth Patrick, one of the first to warn about the dangers of pollution.

Lyrically, joyfully written, exquisitely illustrated, and full of fascinating details and a rich afterword and timeline, this STEM biography will inspire readers who love the environment to follow their passion and curiosity.
