Rachel Carson and her book that changed the world by Laurie Lawlor illustrated by Laura Beingessner

We are collecting books for our library on the theme of sustainability for our new English Syllabus.  You may have read my review of Rachel the story of Rachel Carson.  Here is another simple biography of this important woman written for a younger audience.

Rachel Carson and her book that changed the world adds more detail to the story by exploring Rachel's love of writing and her work as a marine biologist.  I would hope that reading both these books might inspire young students to read her famous book Silent Spring as I did when I was young.

Here is a page from the author and an illustration from this book.
