Environmental scientist Carson's (1907–1964) childhood was primarily spent outdoors, and Sisson emphasizes her subject's love of animals, keen observation skills, and enthusiasm for the natural world before turning to Carson's adult work. The illustrations' warm, sunny earth tones and varying compositions--which include the use of panels, circles, and small insets--fill the pages with detail. Further notes about Carson's life round out this informative biography. Bib.
