Teacher Comments: [2025] This book is a great resource for those who enjoy biographies, or want to learn more about this Nobel Prize winner, or are studying environmental issues. I would be unlikely to use this book in my current position as an elementary librarian. However, were I teaching at the high school or perhaps even the middle school level, this book could be used for content from several subjects: social studies, science, literature, or even for a topical study in an advanced Spanish class. | [2025] Really liked that is in both English and Spanish.
