Today is #WorldJellyfishDay! A great day to introduce young readers to Maude Delap, a pioneering scientist from rural Ireland who was the first person to raise them in captivity through their full life cycle. She did this back in 1899! #kidslovenonfiction #STEAM #JellyfishScientist
#SteamTeamBooks
Cover of the book shows the title, Jellyfish Scientist: Maude Delap and her Mesmerizing Medusas by Michelle Cusolito, illustrated by Ellen Rooney. Maude looks out at the reader through a bell jar holding a jellyfish medusa. A JLG medal is on the bottom right.

A week from today, I'll be at the Curio Room at 3:30 for a #storytime and #booksigning.

Order books in advance of my visit, and I'll sign them when I'm at the store. You can pick them up at your convenience, if you're unable to join us next Sunday.
