Grad Student Writes Children's Book to Encourage Problem-Solving

摘要

Geology graduate student Rania Eldam started brainstorming the idea for a children's book two years ago at an Association for Women Geoscientists meeting. "We don't see many children's book series where little girls are the main characters and aren't pretty princesses or fairies," Eldam said. "It's always been so important to me to merge those two ideas. I was the girl who wore princess dresses, but my mom would get furious with me, because I'd also be in the dirt scrounging around for plants or rocks."
