This simple, elegant book is about13-year-old Maria Merian who is fascinated by the transformative nature of caterpillars, moths, butterflies, and common amphibians. Young Maria questions the notion of her time: that “summer birds,” the medieval name for butterflies, are born of mud. She uses her keen observation skills to prove otherwise. Colorful, whim sical illustrations add to this amazing biographical sketch of Young Maria. Author’s Note. The colorful and detailed illustrations in this book are absolutely gorgeous. This book recounts the life of Maria Merian, who as a child in the 1600's observed and painted the life cycle of butterflies. She was instrumental in educating the public that insects and small creatures did not come from mud. This book would be a great tool for teaching the life cycle of butterflies and frogs. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In the Middle Ages, people believed that insects were evil, born from mud in a process called spontaneous generation. This is the story of one young girl who took the time to observe and learn, and in so doing disproved a theory that went all the way back to ancient Greece. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
