Ignotofsky is the creator of the New York Times bestseller Women in Science, and is introducing her new non-fiction picture book series that nurtures the curiosity of young science enthusiasts about the natural world–starting with what’s inside a flower.

Lompoc’s budding backyard scientists will have fun exploring their world with this stunning introduction to nature’s show-stoppers–from seeds to roots to blooms.

The New York Times writes in its review of “What’s Inside a Flower?”, “The challenge of igniting a child’s curiosity is akin to lighting a fire. . . What’s Inside a Flower? is the best kind of tinder for little sparks”.

The Lompoc Public Library thanks the Walmart Foundation for their continued support of family literacy programming.
