It's hard for me to imagine anyone who is not a fan of the rainforest, and anyone who doesn't have a strong impulse toward both curiosity and concern when that subject is mentioned.īefore the main text begins, a quotation by Margaret "Canopy Meg: Lowman is showcased on its own page: Working closely with Meg Lowman, author Heather Lang and artist Jana Christy beautifully capture Meg's world in the treetops. She studied, invented, and persevered, not only creating a future for herself as a scientist, but making sure that the rainforests had a future as well. Male teachers would not let her into their classrooms, the high canopy was difficult to get to, and worst of all, people were logging and clearing the forests. But she encountered challenge after challenge. As a scientist, Meg set out to climb up and investigate the rain forest tree canopies- and to be the first scientist to do so. The colors, the branches, and, most of all, the leaves and mysterious organisms living there. Meg Lowman was always fascinated by the natural world above her head. Meg's perseverance and creativity allowed her to achieve this goal, but when this fantastic ecosystem started to disappear, Meg needed to act quickly. Meg Lowman was determined to investigate the marvelous, undiscovered world of the rainforest treetops.
