Looking for a new picture book biography? Look no further than Secrets of the Sea: The Story of Jeanne Power, Revolutionary Marine Scientist<\/em> by Evan Griffith and illustrated by Joanie Stone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jeanne Power was born in France, but moved to Sicily with her husband in 1818 when she was 23. Formerly a busy seamstress, she was likely not used to staying at home. To pass the time, she began to study the animals and plants of her new surroundings. The ocean intrigued her the most, but how could she observe what was going on in the water? Build one of the first glass-sided aquariums of course!<\/p>\n

During her studies, Jeanne Power concentrated on the paper nautilus, which is a type of octopus. At the time, no one was sure whether the nautilus borrowed the delicate shells they carried from other creatures or whether they grew them. Jeanne Power figured out the answer. It wasn\u2019t always smooth sailing, but she was able to publish her findings.<\/p>\n

Matching the compelling story, Joanie Stone\u2019s beautiful digital illustrations, from the bubbling water of the end papers to last pages of the text, reflect the vibrant blue palette of the ocean Jeanne Power loved so much. Gorgeous!<\/p>\n

The back matter is extensive, including notes about \u201cJeanne\u2019s Life and Legacy,\u201d \u201cThe Paper Nautilus,” information about \u201cMarine Biology and Conservation,\u201d a \u201cNote on Historical Research,\u201d and a \u201cBibliography.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the compelling story of a remarkable woman, Secrets of the Sea<\/em> would be a great choice for a science unit on oceans or for Women\u2019s History Month. Explore a copy today!<\/p>\n
