The True Cinderella Story of Caroline Herschel, the First Professional Woman Astronomer
A girl once expected to spend her life doing chores looks up and finds a sky full of possibility.
Caroline Herschel grew up in a time when girls were not usually encouraged to study science. But with curiosity, music, math, and a fierce love of learning, she found her way from a difficult household into the world of telescopes, stars, and comets.
This picture book biography tells Caroline’s true story with a Cinderella-like shape, but the real magic is her own intelligence and persistence. Young readers who love space, science, and stories about women who changed history will discover how Caroline became the first professional woman astronomer and helped expand what people knew about the night sky.
