Real-life 7-year-old Sophia Spencer was bullied for loving bugs until hundreds of women scientists rallied around her. Now Sophie tells her inspiring story in this picture book that celebrates women in science, bugs of all kinds, and the importance of staying true to yourself. Sophia Spencer has loved bugs ever since a butterfly landed on her shoulder--and wouldn't leave --at a butterfly conservancy when she was only two-and-a-half years old. In preschool and kindergarten, Sophia was thrilled to share what she knew about grasshoppers (her very favorite insects), as well as ants and fireflies... but by first grade, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Some students bullied her, and Sophia stopped talking about bugs altogether. When Sophia's mother wrote to an entomological society looking for a bug scientist to be a pen pal for her daughter, she and Sophie were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response--letters, photos, and videos came flooding in. Using the hashtag BugsR4Girls, scientists tweeted hundreds of times to tell Sophia to keep up her interest in bugs--and it worked Sophia has since appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR, and she continues to share her love of bugs with others.Binding Type: Hardcover

He loves his new ball
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
My German Shepherd loves it. The only issue we had is that he managed to tear the black handle off within 5 minutes, so we just ended up cutting it completely off. Other than that he loves it.

Great Dog Toy!
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
This soccer ball gets even my LAZY dog moving! It's so fun for them to play with and tug with. Great product, will need to keep re-buying it whenever it gets a hole in it from the rough wear and tear of my pups! :)

Very durable ball

It’s hardy 2 dogs can play with it at the same time. The last one lasted almost 2 years with every day play and chewing.

Durable and great value
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
Best thing we ever bought our Frenchie. It keeps him busy and he gets a great workout in. The tabs make it easier and for me to grab and throw for him. They also allow him to grab them and run with the ball. Only thing he hasn't destroys. Very durable and easy to inflate with enclosed pump.
