Rachel Carson - Preserving A Sense Of Wonder by Joseph Bruchac, illustrated by Thomas Locker



This is a wonderful picture book in disguise. When in fact it is a very talented work for the education of children in history and environmental preservation. I loved this book! I fully intend on my grandchildren reading this someday as Joseph Bruchac brings Rachel Carson to life once again and into the heart of the reader. Her concern about the destruction of nature and her love for the ocean leads to her work on preserving what Mother Earth has provided us instead of letting technology destroy it for our children.

The illustrations are beautiful and take you to the ocean side and the eagles nest and bring the tears of destruction. This is a must have for a wonderful history and teaching for anyone. It's written to be easily understood and keeps your interest from Rachel Carson's childhood to after she passed on and her accomplishments.

In the book you will also find a page with actual quotes by Rachel Carson during her life. One of the ones that I found very touching is 'Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.'
