    Calpurnia Tate tiene once años y pasa el verano estudiando saltamontes, luciérnagas, hormigas y zarigüeyas junto a su abuelo naturalista, quien la anima a llevar un diario de observación. En el condado de Caldwell, Texas, a comienzos del siglo XX, Calpurnia debe enfrentar las expectativas de su madre, que quiere convertirla en una dama, mientras rodeada de seis hermanos varones busca afirmar su identidad. Las magníficas ilustraciones de esta novela gráfica reflejan su entusiasmo, sus dudas y su insaciable curiosidad científica.

    English Translation

    Calpurnia

    Eleven-year-old Calpurnia Tate spends her Texas summer studying grasshoppers, fireflies, ants, and opossums, guided by her naturalist grandfather who encourages her to keep a field journal. Growing up with six brothers in early twentieth-century Caldwell County, Calpurnia struggles against her mother's wish to turn her into a proper young lady. Through vivid, expressive illustrations, this graphic novel captures her curiosity, doubts, and determination as she wonders whether science might be her path to freedom and self-discovery.
