A beautiful and hopeful story of how a young impassioned naturalist grows up to change the world. For everyone who cares about our fragile planet.
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 or writers.
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.---from the publisher
