The leaf detective : how Margaret Lowman uncovered secrets in the rainforest  Cover Image Book Book

The leaf detective : how Margaret Lowman uncovered secrets in the rainforest / Heather Lang ; illustrated by Jana Christy.

Lang, Heather, 1966- (author.). Christy, Jana, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Meg Lowman was always fascinated by the natural world above her head. The colors, the branches, and, most of all, the leaves and mysterious organisms living there. As a scientist, Meg set out to climb up and investigate the rain forest tree canopies-- and to be the first scientist to do so. But she encountered challenge after challenge. Male teachers would not let her into their classrooms, the high canopy was difficult to get to, and worst of all, people were logging and clearing the forests. Meg never gave up or gave in. She studied, invented, and persevered, not only creating a future for herself as a scientist, but making sure that the rainforests had a future as well."-- Publisher's description.
