Description

Bugs, of a wide variety, were regarded as to be “born of mud” and to be “beasts of the devil.”  Why would any individual, let on my own a girl, need to study and observe them?

One of the crucial first naturalists to observe live insects right away, Maria Sibylla Merian used to be also One of the crucial first to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly. In this visual nonfiction biography, richly illustrated all over with full-color original paintings by Merian herself, the Newbery Honor–winning creator Joyce Sidman paints her own picture of One of the crucial first female entomologists and a woman who flouted convention in the pursuit of knowledge and her passion for insects.
