Julie Winterbottom
A brilliant scientist and intrepid explorer, the ecologist Ruth Patrick taught the world how to care for the environment. She studied water pollution long before it became a public concern and gave other scientists the tools to do something about it. Born in 1907, Ruth Patrick was one of the only women in her field when she made her breakthrough discovery about biodiversity and the ecosystem of rivers, forever changing how ecologists understand pollution.
Lyrically, joyfully written and full of fascinating details and a rich afterword and timeline, this STEM biography will inspire listeners who love the environment to follow their passion and curiosity.

Kritikerstimmen
"The text flows naturally from scientific terminology to lyrical storytelling, making this an excellent choice for a classroom read-aloud. Ethereal, hand-painted watercolor wash illustrations are enhanced by delicate digital ink lines. Blue, green, and brown hues evoke the murky streams, while intricate line overlays highlight the crystalline details of microscopic diatoms. Budding naturalists will eagerly dip their toes into this one." —Kirkus
"This relatable story of a little girl who “fell in love with pond scum” serves as an accessible
introduction to the wonders found in a drop of water in Winterbottom’s beautifully illustrated
science biography. Students will easily see how a love of science can turn into a career. Readers will enjoy Patrick’s tenacity. Reagan’s detailed, full-spread multimedia illustrations burst with details of shoreline and underwater flora and fauna (the close-ups of startled-looking fish are a highlight). A must for science and biography shelves. ”—Booklist
★"Reagan’s hand-painted watercolor washes mix with digital detailing for absorbing effect: lightly sketched scenes of the figure ankle-deep in water appear alongside delicately starry diatoms and careful depictions of aquatic creatures poised to one day benefit from the scientist’s trailblazing work. ”—Publishers Weekly
"The text is clear, with a storytelling flow that builds upon previous details, and the textured digital and hand-painted illustrations are naturalistic and approachable. —The Horn Book Magazine
