 | Marias Comet by Deborah Hopkinson, Deborah Lanino
In the early 1800s, girls were expected to do nothing but housework. But Maria Mitchell didn't want to be like the other girls--she wanted to look at the stars like her Papa did each night. One night, she had a chance to look through her father's telescope and saw wondrous, beautiful things in the sky. She decided to learn more and later attended Vassar College, then went on to become the first American female astronomer. This book, with lush color illustrations throughout, is loosely based on Maria Mitchell's life. AUTHOR: Deborah Hopkinson, Deborah Lanino
