Women in Science

Pervin Saket introduces five women scientists to young readers, telling each story as much for the persistence behind the work as for the discovery itself. The title belongs to the Learning TO BE series, which pairs biography with a named value, so courage, perseverance, curiosity and commitment come through the lives rather than as instruction. Language is kept simple and the pages are illustrated throughout, which suits early readers working alone and adults reading aloud. The format invites questions, and it makes a scientific career look like something a child could choose. What children take away: • Five short profiles of women in science • From the Learning TO BE series • Colour illustrations alongside simple text • Written by Pervin Saket for early readers Written for children, parents and teachers looking for inspiring nonfiction, available from Boipoka.
