Why do we have rainbows? How do airplanes stay up? Where do tadpoles come from? This book follows a pair of siblings through their afternoon and evening all the way to bedtime, with amusing and comforting answers to her questions, illuminated by warm and funny illustrations. A section at the back can clear up any misunderstandings with "What Grownups Think."
"This book introduces the lives, sayings, and dreams of seventeen women over four centuries and chronicles their contributions to mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science, and medicine"--Provided by publisher.
