N2  - This picture book introduces young readers to Maria Sibylla Merian, a scientist, artist, and explorer born in Frankfurt in 1647. (Miller Library Staff); In the Middle Ages, people believed that insects were evil, born from mud in a process called spontaneous generation. This is the story of one young girl who took the time to observe and learn, and in so doing disproved a theory that went all the way back to ancient Greece
