Maria's Comet

BY DEBORAH HOPKINSON, ILLUSTRATED BY DEBORAH LANINO

Brief Description:
"A fictionalized, first-person story of the childhood of Maria Mitchell, America's first female astronomer, is recounted in quietly poetic text. Maria longs to 'sweep the sky' with a telescope as her father does, instead of sweeping the floor with a broom. An afterword provides more information." - Horn Book
