4 stars
A fascinating non-fiction picture book about the life and work of Margaret Lowman, aka “Canopy Meg”. The book gives an overview of her childhood, education, scientific discoveries, and conservation work all while providing interesting facts about the rainforest and animals/plants that live there and quotes from Canopy Meg herself.
The illustrations are beautiful, full of lush colors. They really capture the wonder and mystery of the rainforest.
This picture book is a bit long, but provides a great biography and look at the rainforest. Good fit for older children, especially those interested in plants, animals, and science.
