“This is a sweet picture book biography with a strong feminist message. Marie Tharp worked as a geologist and oceanographic cartographer at a time when women were not particularly welcome in the field. . . . Hickey’s blue-soaked illustrations are whimsical and energetic, perfectly complementing the succinct text . . . this book is packed with information and effectively conveys the gravity and impact of Tharp’s work and the obstacles she faced. Back matter adds factual weight to the narrative and provides valuable context for readers.” – Starred Review, School Library Journal
