Beatrix Potter, Scientist
What's This Book About
Friends of American Writers Chicago Winner 2021 Young People’s Literature AwardBeatrix Potter was a writer, an artist, and a scientist too, and she strove to find a place in the world for her talents.Everyone knows Beatrix Potter as the creator of the Peter Rabbit stories. But before that, she was a girl of science. As a child, Beatrix collected nature specimens; as a young adult, she was an amateur mycologist presenting her research on mushrooms and other fungi to England’s foremost experts. Like many women of her time, she remained unacknowledged by the scientific community, but her keen eye for observation led her to an acclaimed career as an artist and storyteller. A beloved author is cast in a new light in this inspiring picture book story.
