Michael Elsohn Ross, inšpirovaný prirodzenou zvedavosťou detí a ich schopnosťami objavovať vedy, sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na sprostredkovanie vedeckých objavov prostredníctvom hravých a prístupných experimentov. V spolupráci s učiteľkou rozvíjal metódy, ktoré deťom umožňujú zažiť otvorené vedecké hry, a z týchto poznatkov vznikli diela inšpirované predstavou, že aj v bežnom prostredí číhajú veľké objavy. Jeho knihy, ako napríklad „What's the Matter in Mr. Whiskers' Room“, premieňajú základné prírodné javy na dobrodružstvá, povzbudzujú deti k používaniu všetkých zmyslov pri pozorovaní a vyvodzovaní záverov. Ross prístup zjednodušuje vedecké poznanie na úroveň detskej hry a podporuje celoživotnú vášeň pre nezávislé objavovanie.

A source of inspiration for young women with strong social convictions, She Takes a Stand highlights 16 extraordinary women who have fought for human rights, civil rights, workers' rights, reproductive/sexual rights, and world peace. Among these are many who have been imprisoned, threatened, or suffered financial hardships for pursuing their missions to change the world for the better. Included are historic heroes such as anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells and suffragist Alice Paul, along with contemporary figures such as girls-education activist Malala Yousafzai; Sampat Pal Devi, who fights violence against Indian women; and SPARK executive director Dana Edell, who works to end the sexualization of women and girls in the media. Taking a multicultural, multinational perspective, She Takes a Stand spotlights brave women around the world with an emphasis on childhood details, motivations, and life turning points--in many cases gleaned from the author's original interviews--and includes related sidebars, a bibliography, source notes, and a list of organizations young women can explore to get involved in changing their world.
