About this Event

This fascinating picture book biography tells the story of the trailblazing woman who first discovered our climate was changing.


In an era when few women practiced science, Eunice Newton Foote dared to search for answers to a mystery that no one else had solved.


A visionary scientist, suffragist, and mother, Eunice conducted a groundbreaking experiment that uncovered the first clues about global warming. Defying the limitations society placed on her, she boldly pursued her hypothesis, paving the way for our modern understanding of climate change.


With captivating text and vibrant illustrations, this gorgeous biography sheds light on the long-overlooked story of a revolutionary woman in STEM.
