Montgomery examines the start that several different scientists had when they were just young children examining, collecting, copying, and sharing the treasures they found in nature. 

 This book is absolutely darling and 100% relatable. Whether we grow up to be scientists or not, each of us has inherent interests that often begin in childhood, leading us to pursue and perhaps become great at those pursuits. This book allows young readers to look to their future, and older readers to look back at their path.
