Author

A tale of perseverance and cleverness, told in gentle rhyme with a soft colour palette, this is a lovely book for younger readers.

Dr. Bath’s inventions and contributions to ophthalmology were driven by curiosity and compassion and cannot be overstated. Mosca’s text addresses racism and misogyny head-on, while Rieley’s easy-to-parse illustrations leave plenty of room for questions and discussion.

As part of a series about women scientists, the book ends with a word from Dr. Bath, a visual timeline, and notes on further reading.

From Deshan's list on kids’ reads about women in science.
