Elizabeth's Reviews > The Astronomer Who Questioned Everything: The Story of Maria Mitchell

The Astronomer Who Questioned Everything is a gorgeous little introduction to the life on nineteenth century astronomer Maria Mitchell. We get some great details about the time period, her life, and the science of astronomy (plus navigation). I was worried that it was being a bit unfavourable towards women's work, but it also shows Mitchell coming to value those skills in different ways too which I liked a lot. The art is also very lovely. Overall it's a great picture book biography for kids interested in history or science and I would recommend it.
