Until, one day, an invitation arrived. It was an invitation to a new country and a new beginning--a place where Caroline's dreams, her fascination with the night sky, and her extraordinary talent would open up a world of beauty and renown, and make her the belle of the scientific ball. From humble beginnings and in spite of many obstacles, Caroline Herschel and her brother William developed and built the best telescope in the world--in their back yard! Together they went on to discover a new planet, new moons, and vast arrays of unknown nebulae and comets. From a child who seemed doomed to a life of servitude, Caroline grew into a woman recognized by kings and queens-and a scientist whose work and discoveries continue to shine today. Pamela S. Turner and Vivien Mildenberger invite readers into Caroline Herschel's true Cinderella story in this inspiring account of the transformative power of curiosity and the magic-better than any fairytale-of science"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 5 to 8. $b Chronicle Books. 521 $a Grades 2-3. $b Chronicle Books. 600 10 $a Herschel, Caroline Lucretia, $d 1750-1848 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women astronomers $z Great Britain $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women astronomers $z Germany $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Astronomers $z Great Britain $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Astronomers $z Germany $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Comets $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Mildenberger, Vivien, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010610.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240305010833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=809B8DE2BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
