(3) K-3 Illustrated by Luisa Uribe. Mangal's biography follows the life of African American biologist and writer Ernest Just (1883–1941), from his childhood in the segregated South to his teaching career at Howard University. On summer breaks, he studied aquatic invertebrates in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and made discoveries in embryology. A fascinating look at a little-known scientist, illuminated with pencil and digital illustrations that capture the feel of the seashore. Timeline. Bib., glos.
