Slade, Suzanne Out of School and Into Nature: The Anna
Comstock Story. PICTURE BOOK. 20 pgs. Sleeping Bear Press,
2017. $17.99. Content: G.
A picture book biography of Anna Comstock, readers first learn
about her early love for nature, her pursuit of education in science in a time
where she was unique for attending college, her detailed drawings of insects,
and especially her passion for educating children about nature which left a
lasting contribution today. Filled with large, bright, watercolor
illustrations. Readers can learn more about Anna’s life in the end notes.
This was a lovely book and would be nice read to show young
girls that insects are not just a ‘boy’ thing. It was be fascinating to pair this
with Anna’s actual book and/or a lesson on science drawing. I am going to show this to our art teacher right away. Also great for a lesson on contributors to our modern day education system.
