#FebruaryFeels Day 23: Here‘s another fierce female known as the “Shark Lady” who went on to pursue her #passion, and proved a lot of people wrong with her scientific discoveries. As a child, Eugenie became enamoured with sharks. Evidently, she is no ordinary girl. Eventually, she took it upon herself to commit to knowing more about them by “deep diving” into books and actual studies about sharks. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jGZ

This book was great. This is a biography that tells the story of how Eugenie Clark became “the oceans most fearless scientist. It was published in 2017.
Throughout the book, one is shown the many different types of discoveries and experiences that Eugenie had, but some of the main focus is on sharks. I liked that this book can take something that can be scary to people, like the ocean, and show the amazing things about it such as the animals.

During the summer the City teams up with the school district to provide free lunches in the parks every day for kids. They also have a story time with it and each family gets a hard copy of the book!

Today we read Shark Lady about a woman scientist who persisted to prove to others that sharks aren‘t scary and ugly, but are beautiful and wonderful creatures. #Zeek and Charlotte both loved the story and enjoyed their lunch. 💖

My greatest summer fear, sharks! My local indie store had a great shark display and this was an interesting book about Eugenie Clark who studied sharks and dispelled many shark myths.

Home in Louisiana for a visit and my nephews are sleeping over. This is the book my oldest one picked for his bedtime story.

Proud aunt moment. 😍🦈

🦈I love Shark Week. I have always been fascinated by great whites and one of my life goals is to cage dive with them by the Isle of Guadalupe.
So I'd be remiss if I didn't send out my PSA that tonight launches the beginning of Shark Week on Discovery! 🦈

#SharkWeek #Discovery #OceanResearch #Preservation #Protection

I love when someone can bring a character to life. It‘s even better when they can take a real person and make their story interesting and entertaining for children. In this case Eugenie loved sharks. By studying them, she could show the world that they are not vicious animals, but wildly diverse fish. my favorite thing has to be the timeline at the back of the book. Very well done, and perfect for shark week and shark enthusiastic kids.
