by Robert Burleigh, illustrated by Raul Colon.

Copyright 2013

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born in 1868, and in a time when very few women were on the scene in the world of astronomy, she pursued her dreams. She helped to discover the first accurate method for measuring great distances in space. Not much is known about her life, so this picture book biography is a treasure to learn about this remarkable woman!

Book includes some wonderful backmatter information and an additional book list.
