Rachel was a girl who loved
science and the sea,
books and writing
and all the creatures of the world.
Rachel was quiet,
a listener by nature.
But when she saw problems,
she could not remain silent.
Some people thought girls
shouldnât be scientists.
They thought girls
shouldnât use their voices
to question or challenge,
even to protect
all the creatures of the world.
Luckily Rachel didnât listen
to them.
