The Bug Girl (A True Story)
When 7-year-old Sophia Spencer was bullied at school for loving bugs, her mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter. Hundreds of women scientists rallied around Sophia using the hashtag #BugsR4Girls and tweeting hundreds of times to encourage her to continue her interest in bugs – and it worked! This book celebrates women in science, bugs of all kinds and gaining the courage to be yourself.
Thorn: when her classmates kill the grasshopper I love that she loves bugs and the pretty drawings.
