Author/illustrator Fiona Robinson’s Bluest of Blues is a gorgeous picture book biography of botanist and photographer Anna Atkins—the first person to ever publish a book of photography.
An ALSC Notable Children’s Book
A Junior Library Guild Selection
A Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year
After losing her mother very early in life, Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was raised by her loving father. He gave her a scientific education, which was highly unusual for women and girls in the early 19th century.
Fascinated with the plant life around her, Anna became a botanist. She recorded all her findings in detailed illustrations and engravings, until the invention of cyanotype photography in 1842. Anna used this new technology in order to catalogue plant specimens—a true marriage of science and art. In 1843, Anna published the book Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions with handwritten text and cyanotype photographs. It is considered the first book of photographs ever published.
Weaving together histories of women, science, and art, The Bluest of Blues will inspire young readers to embark on their own journeys of discovery and creativity.
“The beautiful blue toned illustrations of this book give it a dream-like quality . . . This book will serve as a great introduction to another wonderful woman in the science field.” —School Library Connection

Divinely Inspired
Format: Paperback
Yet another divinely inspired book from Praying Medic!!! Dave has a unique writing style of choosing his words, not to impress, but to be very readable, engaging, and most informative. This book (and others that I have read of his) leave the reader feeling informed on the topics and with a profound sense that Dave truly cares about our awareness of and safety from the perils of the spiritual battles we face. My takeaways are several relevant insights to issues and demons my own family is encountering and solid suggestions for dealing with them head-on. For someone seeking a primer (short yet meaningful chapters) on the evils that exist all around us, I strongly recommend reading what Praying Medic has presented here.

Great gift and lovely way to weave God's presence into daily life
Love these prayers. I heard about the book from a podcast of Steve Cuss (or maybe Curtis Chang?). This book is a lovely and sometimes humorous way to weave God into the day. (My favorite-- a prayer for changing diapers! I sent this to my daughter in law).
