But she wasn't sure how. Her father taught her to look to the stars for guidance. If you knew how to read them, he said, the stars could tell you where you were, and where you needed to go. They spent hours scanning the night sky together through a telescope on the roof. Maria learned how to use astronomers' tools to measure and track time by the stars. But what could she do with her skills? Then, one day, she heard that a prize was being offered to the first person to find a new comet. Could this be the opportunity she was waiting for? This absorbing picture book biography by Laura Alary tells the fascinating, though not well-known, story of a remarkable nineteenth-century woman scientist and women's rights advocate. After winning that prize for discovering a comet, Maria Mitchell would go on to become the first professional female astronomer in the United States, first female member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and one of the first female college professors."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Mitchell Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
