A Dinosaur Named Ruth / Julia Lyons / 2021
A delightful read about a woman whose love of nature led her to preserve fossils the scientists repeatedly told her were insignificant. It includes plenty of challenging but doable words for the second grade kiddo in my life. He also stopped many times while reading to marvel and comment on the cool drawings. After waiting until she was 70, the woman is finally approached by a scientist who recognizes the value of the fossils. It was a delightful read. 5/5
