Calpurnia Tate tiene once años y pasa el verano estudiando saltamontes, luciérnagas, hormigas y zarigüeyas en el condado de Caldwell, Texas, a comienzos del siglo XX. Animada por su abuelo naturalista a llevar un diario de observación, se pregunta por qué los perros tienen cejas o por qué los saltamontes grandes son amarillos y los pequeños verdes. Con seis hermanos varones y una madre decidida a convertirla en una dama, no es fácil mantenerse fiel a su espíritu curioso. Las magníficas ilustraciones de Daphné Collignon reflejan su entusiasmo, sus dudas y su insaciable curiosidad ante la pregunta: ¿será la ciencia su camino hacia la libertad?

English Translation

Calpurnia

Eleven-year-old Calpurnia Tate spends her summer studying grasshoppers, fireflies, ants, and possums in early 1900s Caldwell County, Texas. Encouraged by her naturalist grandfather to keep a science notebook, she questions everything—why do dogs have eyebrows, why are big grasshoppers yellow and small ones green? But with six brothers and a mother determined to turn her into a proper lady, staying true to her curious, independent self isn't easy. This beautifully illustrated graphic novel captures Calpurnia's wonder, doubts, and insatiable curiosity as she wonders whether science might be her path to freedom.
